Course structure

The Master of Environmental Science is a 200-point program, made up of:

• Core subjects (62.5 points), including an industry project
• Environmental science discipline subjects (87.5–112.5 points), including the option to undertake a research project
• Broadening environmental studies subjects (up to 25 points)
• Professional skills subjects (25–37.5 points).

In your first year, you’ll start with the core subjects EVSC90017 Global Environmental Change and EVSC90014 Environmental Risk Assessment and choose elective subjects from the Discipline, Broadening and Professional subject groupings.

In your second year, you’ll complete your elective subjects while undertaking the Industry Project in Environmental Science, and EVSC90019 Graduate Seminar: Environmental Science, where you will participate in, and sometimes lead, discussions of hot topics in environmental science.

In the year-long industry project, you'll work on an industry-relevant environmental science question. You’ll spend time at the workplace of your assigned industry client, getting a full understanding of the problem and why it is important to the business or mission of the organisation.
