Third year student Ivana Jurasovic reflects on her studies in Environmental Change so far.
Programme: Bachelor of Advanced Science in Environmental Change
“I knew I wanted to do a science major because there is always more to learn in science. I have always had a passion for the environment and have always been interested in understanding the way the environment functions. I knew that I wanted variation in my future job so chose this pathway in the hopes that one day I would be able to work in the outdoors with nature as well as in an office environment.
“I like that it has given me the option to explore the different pathways included in environmental change by having a range of classes to pick from. Not only that but the lecturers and tutors have a real passion for what they are teaching which makes the classes interesting.
I have found that throughout my degree my passion for the environment and studies in this area continues to grow.
“I would tell anyone who is thinking of studying Environmental Change to go for it. If they are anything like me (curious and with a passion for nature) then this is definitely the degree for them. You never know until you try. I have found that throughout my degree my passion for the environment and studies in this area continues to grow.
“University is a great change to get out of your comfort zone and make friends. Students are very friendly. Lecturers, tutors and supervisors are great and have been extremely helpful during covid times to make it as smooth as possible."
