About

The Master of Earth and Environmental Sciences is for students who wish to extend their knowledge and diversify their skill base within a range of sub-disciplines of the Earth and environmental sciences, and in particular, environmental science, geology and physical geography.

This degree will serve as a refresher program for graduates wishing to explore specific combinations of topics in greater detail; a program for professionals already practicing aspects of Earth and environmental sciences seeking additional analytical skills, and as a stepping stone for graduates intending to proceed to a higher degree by research, upon completion of the program. With the appropriate qualifications and laboratory skills, you can be awarded advanced standing for these preparatory subjects.

The degree emphasises the interconnectedness of the many sub-disciplines within the Earth and Environmental Sciences where content will be explored through the common core first-year subjects. The Master of Earth and Environmental Sciences is designed through the lens of global perspectives in science where you will use drones and artificial intelligence technology.
