Designed for future leaders

Our program is professional and interdisciplinary, designed for future leaders in environment and sustainability fields.

Our graduates are ‘T-shaped’ professionals – individuals with both knowledge of environmental issues and sustainability topics, and deep skills in their areas of specialisation.

Specialisations can include climate change and development, biophysical and earth surface science, energy efficiency and modelling, and education and social change.

Professional networks

Our students have engagement with industry, government, and private enterprise, through interactive seminars, work-integrated internships, applied research projects with partner organisations, and numerous networking events and opportunities.

The program is constantly refined in collaboration with our Community and Industry Advisory Board, who provide practical and immediate insights into current workforce trends and needs, and facilitate student interaction with their organisations and professional communities

Career connections

There are many events that will connect you with industry and employers throughout the year. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with and learn from professionals in your field and to join the STEM Industry Mentoring Program to develop your communication skills and employability.

Volunteering

While you’re studying with us, why not get involved with volunteering to extend your learning opportunities, connect with communities, and enhance your employability. One opportunity for volunteering is through the Science Student Ambassadors program.

Study abroad

To add a global experience to your degree, consider studying overseas. The Graduate Certificate in Environment offers several intensive overseas subjects, to places like China, India and Timor-Leste. The optional industry internship subject can also be completed overseas.
