Overview

Master of Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Master of Earth and Environmental Sciences at UOW is for students who wish to extend their knowledge and diversify their skill base within a range of Earth and Environmental Sciences sub-disciplines, particularly Environmental Science, Geology and Physical Geography.

This degree will serve as a refresher program for graduates wishing to explore specific combinations of topics in greater detail; 

It is a program for professionals already practising aspects of Earth and Environmental Sciences seeking additional analytical skills and as a stepping stone for graduates intending to proceed to a higher degree by research upon completing the program.

With the appropriate qualifications and laboratory skills, you can be awarded credit for these preparatory subjects.

The degree emphasises the inter-connectedness of the many sub-disciplines within the Earth and Environmental Sciences, where content will be explored through the common core first-year subjects.

The Master of Earth and Environmental Sciences is designed through the lens of global perspectives in science, where you will use drones and artificial intelligence technology.
