The world is facing many environmental challenges – needing your help.

Through the Master of Environmental Science, you’ll learn risk assessment techniques and scientifically rigorous ways to tackle grand environmental challenges such as air, water and land contamination and controls, climate change, energy transition, conservation and ecosystem management, and food security.

You'll specialise in an area of your choice, learning from leaders in their fields, while also building professional skills in communication, policy, planning, and ethical business studies.

The Master of Environmental Science is suitable for those with a background in environmental engineering or the life, chemical, physical, Earth or environmental sciences.
