Summary

The Postgraduate Diploma in Science (PGDipSci) is an opportunity for Bachelor of Science graduates to advance their qualifications.

Environmental Science seeks to develop and apply prevention, remediation and mitigation strategies to enhance or maintain environmental quality.

Postgraduate study in Environmental Science focuses on a scientific approach to environmental problem solving in natural and managed environments.

Summer School will start in January.

Areas of research interests open to exploration include:

• Air quality and atmospheric processes
• Application of computer modelling to environmental problems
• Applied Estuarine Ecology
• Applied Terrestrial Ecology
• Assessment of ecological change
• Aquatic Ecological Assessment
• Biodiversity Management and Conservation
• Conservation project management techniques
• Environmental Data Analysis
• Rare species management
