Career outcomes

CSU's Bachelor of Science prepares graduates for a range of careers. Analytical Chemistry graduates find ready employment in industry, government departments (including forensics laboratories) and authorities, and research laboratories. Their work may involve research, development and design of new products and processes, sample testing and analysis, quality control and laboratory management. Graduates in Conservation Biology will have a broad grounding in the biological sciences and can expect to find employment in a variety of government and semi-government organisations as well as in industry and teaching. Employment opportunities for Mathematics graduates include forecasting and risk analysis in the finance and insurance industries; modelling of environmental and industrial systems; optimisation - transport industries, urban and regional planning, data analysis; government and business; signal and image processing; astronomy, remote sensing and GIS; technical programming and teaching. A graduate in Spatial Science could expect to find employment in the expanding industries of resource monitoring, mapping and planning. Areas such as agriculture, geology and environmental studies are all seeking graduates with image analysis, GIS and computing skills to support both project and research work. Jobs are found at all levels of federal, state and local government as well as the private sector.
