Department of Environmental Sciences
Established in 1999
envsci@juniv.edu
|
In view of the environmental
concerns regarding water, sediments, soil, air and biospecies
scientific study of the myriad environmental impacts with a goal
to obtaining their mitigation, proper monitoring of the impacts
and above all creation of scientific capacity building and
training of personals is a crying need of the hour in
Bangladesh. With this aim in view the Department of
Environmental Science has been established.
Environmental Science comprises a multi disciplinary endeavor to
seek knowledge for the well being of the society. Therefore
holism and interconnectedness of various disciplines should come
in to signify the guiding principles for enunciating course
structure and contents of Environmental Science study from the
very beginning to the highest level.

Curriculum
|
Syllabus for B. Sc. (Honours) courses in Environmental science
for the students admitted in the academic sessions 1998-99,
1999-2000, 2000-01.
The
course of study for (Hon's.) degree shall extend over a period
of four academic years and shall be divided into four parts e.g.
Part-I, Part-II, Part-III and Part-IV. Of the total marks in a
particular theory course 80% will be from the written
examination to be held at the end of the course and 20% from
tutorials and class tests conducted throughout the course. For
the practical course 80% will be from a final examination to be
held on completion of the courses and 20% from regular
assessment of the course. There will be a viva voce examination
at the end of each part and the distribution of marks will be
shown in the details.
