This program prepares you to manage environmental projects, and provides a broad understanding of disciplines relevant to environmental science, with the opportunity to study specific areas in-depth. The knowledge and skills you gain will be incorporated into an industry relevant research project. As a future manager in environmental science, you'll be expected to design and manage projects in an ethical fashion and be able to communicate with a wide range of audiences. Development of these attributes will be an integral part of your progression through the program.

Employment opportunities for graduates from a range of disciplines will be significantly enhanced by the addition of a postgraduate qualification in environmental science and technology. There is a shortage of qualified environmental science professionals to provide high-level advice to Australian workplaces, which is reflected in a recent and broad remuneration survey of environmental positions in Australia (SafeSearch HSE 2011–2012 Remuneration Survey). This program is designed to give you a competitive edge.
