Course content

The Master of Geoscience course provides graduate level coursework and professional training with specialisations in environmental geoscience and mineral resources and exploration. Graduates from a broad range of scientific backgrounds will study general geoscience and specialisation-specific topics and be trained in professional skills relevant to geosciences, business and leadership by leading academics and industry professionals.

Students will have the opportunity to study core and elective subjects in a range of geoscientific fields at leading Australian Universities through an established shared regional teaching program (Victorian Institute of Earth and Planetary Sciences, VIEPS).
