Environmental Science - 8735 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The MScTech in Environmental Science program is a specialist graduate program of one year full-time (or equivalent part-time) study chosen from faculty-wide environmental courses. Specialisation is achieved by undertaking study in one or two environmental streams of the program, although some flexibility in courses may be permitted at the discretion of the program authority.
The program is designed to study the nature of environmental problems and the methodology of their evaluation and management. Emphasis is placed on the development of relevant skills in environmental analysis and planning. The program is primarily intended for students with a background in science or engineering, however, students with other degrees who have undertaken undergraduate level environmental courses and/or have professional experience in an environmental area may apply for entry. Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes Please contact the School of Safety Science for information.
