After completing the Climate and Weather major in the Bachelor of Science, you’ll be well placed to move into the workforce, further study, or graduate research.

Career outcomes

With this major, you might pursue a career in government organisations such as the Bureau of Meteorology, EPA Victoria or CSIRO. There is also potential for work in the aerospace industry or environmental consulting, or to apply your skills and understanding of climate change science to a range of roles in industry.

Further study

You can complete an honours year in Earth Science as part of your Bachelor of Science, or you can immediately move into graduate studies.

GRADUATE DEGREES

If you wish to continue your studies at graduate level, this major is a great foundation for the Master of Science (Earth Sciences).

Other graduate degrees you could consider are:

• Master of Environmental Science
• Master of Environment.

Depending on the subjects you take in your Bachelor of Science, a range of other graduate degrees may be possible – in fields as diverse as science and technology, health sciences, teaching, law, business, humanities and more.

GRADUATE RESEARCH

If you complete an honours year or a masters course with a significant research component, you can go on to study a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), or another graduate research program.

This will set you up for a rewarding career in research with a university, research institute, government or company.
