Environmental Science
Imagine being paid to save a jarrah forest. Or to protect Ningaloo. Or to rehabilitate a mine site.
The world of environmental science and conservation is no longer the realm of people in lab coats or tie-dyed t-shirts. Environmental Science (PDF 184kb) is an intrinsic part of the national heritage and sustainable commerce and can lead directly to challenging, highly-paid occupations worldwide.
And Murdoch is one of few in Australia where you can specialise in this area. Our reputation is for producing graduates with environmental skills and passions that can be applied to real world scenarios.
A snapshot look at the topics we cover in this school will give you a pretty good idea of its scope:
- Meteorology Waste management and recycling
- Environmental Management
- Water Supply
- Ecosystem Management
- Marine Ecology
- Mine Site Rehabilitation
- Eco Tourism
- Soil Fertility
- Landscape Control
In another area of our campus, the Institute for Sustainability & Technology Policy is the biggest research institute of its kind in Australia.
Both business and government are searching for new ways to connect sustainability theory with environmental policy and practice. You might just be one of the people that the world needs to help make this happen.

We don’t have prerequisite subjects for any of our courses as we are a strong promoter of a well rounded education. However, remember that you will also need to demonstrate competence in English, normally through passing either English or English Literature or by getting a sufficiently high score in ESL.
