With the hands on and industry ready way the classes are taught I have learnt skills that have allowed me to work in some of the most amazing places in Australia.
I studied geochemistry, ore deposit geology, geophysics and GIS mapping. When I left as a graduate, I hit the ground running and was considered a semi expert in an emergent field.
Getting hands-on in the practicals and getting to know lecturers are some of the great experiences at intensive schools.
The Australian Government’s Job Outlook website says environmental science as a profession has experienced strong growth in recent years, and further growth is expected into the future. It lists the current average weekly pay for Environmental Scientists at $2099.
