Geographical and Spatial Sciences provide an understanding of environmental processes including atmospheric, aquatic, terrestrial and anthropogenic interactions (human-environment relationships).

In the first three years whilst completing the extended major, you will develop advanced skills in the use, manipulation, analysis and visualisation of spatial data. This will be achieved through a hands-on approach using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) remote sensing technologies, field-based data collection and laboratory-based analysis.

You will then complete a final year of postgraduate study in the Master of Environmental Science. The master's component of the course will focus on understanding the impact of human activity on the environment where you will work to develop scientific, risk-based solutions to the world's greatest challenges. An interdisciplinary approach to problem solving will draw upon your understanding of environmental processes and human-environment interactions to develop data driven results. This course will delve into issues such as climate change, water resource management, sustainable natural resource use, and the rehabilitation of degraded and polluted environments.
