Overview

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, earth science, life sciences and conservation.

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, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and coding in science data collection and analysis, and the responsible conduct of research. The program also integrates graduate work practice skills allowing you to translate your skills into career ready attributes.
