The Master of Science (Earth and Environmental Sciences) is designed for recent graduates or mid-career professionals who wish to extend their knowledge within the Earth and Environmental Sciences, in particular, Environmental Science, Geology, Physical Geography and Archaeological Science. The 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 in the Earth and Environmental Sciences who are seeking additional analytical skills, and as a stepping stone for graduates intending to proceed to a higher degree by research. The program is also suitable for graduates from other disciplines seeking complementary knowledge. Your degree: The degree emphasizes the interconnectedness of the many sub-disciplines within the Earth and Environmental Sciences, and is a flexible program allowing students to specialize in a given area, or undertake a diverse program of study. The program also develops project planning and research skills. What you study: You’ll take two core subjects (which include major research projects): Applied Research in Earth and Environmental Sciences Advanced Topic A. You’ll also choose four electives from: Advanced Plate Tectonics, Macrotopography and Earth History Advanced Coastal Environments – Processes and Management Advanced Fluvial Geomorphology and Sedimentology Advanced Geographic Information Science Advanced Remote Sensing of the Environment Dung, Death and Decay – modern scientific methods in archaeology Advanced Isotope Geochemistry Advanced Soils, Landscapes and Hydrology Fundamentals of Spatial Science Advanced Sediments and Fuels Advanced Resources and Environments Advanced Topic B Directed Studies in Earth Sciences Directed Studies in Environmental Science.

Whether you study earth and environmental science, life science, molecular science or international science, an exciting and meaningful career awaits.Agricultural Adviser Biochemist Cartographer (Mapping) Chemist Coastal or Estuarine Management Officer Conservation Biologist Drug Regulation Officer Ecologist Environmental Consultant Food Chemist Forensic Scientist Geologist Laboratory Assistant Marine or Fisheries Biologist Materials Scientist Medical Biotechnologist Medical Researcher Oceanographer Science Teacher Veterinary Researcher.
