Hydrogeological systems at UWA are complex and their dynamics are controlled by a variety of physical, chemical and biological processes.
Hydrogeologists aim to understand these processes and how best to utilise groundwater resources both now and for future generations.
Hydrogeologists are also critical in the mining, construction and other industries to ensure anthropogenic impacts are minimised and safe working conditions are provided.
The Master of Hydrogeology has been developed in close collaboration with industry stakeholders to meet employers’ requirements.
Many guest lecturers from the industry contribute to the course, so you are learning not only from industry-experienced academics but also directly from industry leaders.
Note, if you’re commencing your studies mid-year, completing the degree in three semesters is not possible.
Topics such as groundwater flow systems, aquifer characterisation, contamination and remediation, numerical modelling and groundwater management are covered in the course and there is an opportunity to undertake a research project.
