The Centre for Environmental Studies is a graduate school for multidisciplinary training and research focusing on
the environment. Training aims to satisfy the need for environmental professionals for implementing current
environmental legislation as well as industry-driven environmental management systems.
Coordinated by the Department of Zoology and Entomology.
The purpose of this focus area is to train environmental graduates who specialised in careers in the ecology of
the environment, including conservation planning, environmental management and air quality management. On
completion of the training, candidates should be conversant and be able to partake in, or render advice
concerning, all aspects involved in the management of the ecological consequences of human existence.
