Hi there,

I was wondering for anyone here doing an enviro studies or geography major at USYD, what is the level of maths/science background you would need?

I'm currently majoring in IR and thus I'm mostly mathematically illiterate, but an enviro studies major conveniently only requires 24 senior credit points so it is possible with my degree.

Is it even worth doing for someone who's interested in climate change/environmental policy specifically? IR does offer a few environmental units but I think I want more.

Thanks for any help

edit - to clarify - enviro would be a 2nd major after IR

I'm almost finished with my environmental studies major and if you're interested in environmental policy, DO IT. However, even though you'll cover climate change policy and stuff in almost every class, you'll have to learn about other policies too.
