Assalamualaikum everyone. I'm ----, on behalf of group-1.

Welcome to the world of Environmental Science. In our presentation today we will

cover, Environmental Science in the undergraduate and postgraduate
level,internships, Job prospects- both local and international. Remuneration and
Impact of a career in this field.

Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that draws on ecology, geology,

meteorology, biology, chemistry and physics to study environmental problems and
human impacts on the environment. Though the study of the environment is as old as
any human endeavour, the modern field of environmental science developed from the
growing public awareness and concern about environmental problems in the 1960s and
’70s.

Currently,3 public universities in bangladesh offer a Bsc in Environmental Science.

They are bup,khulna university,jahangirnagar university. Aside from them, other
universities have Environmental Science associated subjects like soil,water and
environmental science in Dhaka university, Barishal University etc.

After bachelors, one can get their postgraduation in buet,cuet,du,ju etc. Or they
can avail various scholarships such as Fulbright Scholarship USA,
Netherlands Fully Funded Scholarships, University of Manchester STEM Scholarship.
British Council scholarship for Women in STEM etc

Internships opportunities in the country can be found at various organizations like

United Nations Development Program (UNDP),CDE,ICDDRB, BRAC etc

Environmental scientists analyze a wide variety of environmental problems and

potential solutions, including alternative energy systems, pollution control, and
natural resource management, and may be employed by government, industry,
universities, or nonprofit organizations.

In bangladesh, the most abundant jobs are as an Environmental consultant in public

and private firms, lecturer and professor in public and private universities, gis
analyst, research officer, agricultural and food scientist. In addition to these,
environmental science majors can also work for the Ministry of Environment, Forest
and Climate Change, Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, Wasa, Titas, BAPEX,
Rajuk etc

One can also be an Air pollution analyst, environmental engineer,hydrologist,urban

planner,chief sustainibility officer, environmental lawyer, leed architect, natural
resource manager

Salary in this field is subject to variation depending on experience,preference and

employer but its usually around 20,000-35,000 after a bachelors. 36,000-55,000 with
a Masters and around 56,000-75,000 with a phd.

So, we have covered almost all the job prospects and outlook in this field but WHY
enter the world of environmental science? First and foremost, BRINGING A CHANGE.
The best way to start doing something about the Environmental problems that we see
around us and making a positive impact in people's lives. DIVERSITY. Most jobs
often involve both indoor and outdoor work, creating a diverse and compelling
career. SUSTAINABILITY. Working in a sector where the job is NOT just to
develop/produce BUT to do so efficiently i.e. with minimum resources,innovation and
creativity.

Every year, almost 383,624 graduates with an Environmental Science degree. Let us
be a part of this number and work our hardest towards a green, clean and
sustainable future.
