Program focus
Astronomy major
This sixteen unit major provides an opportunity to gain professional knowledge and skills in the science of astronomy. The program is designed to cater for a wide range of students. Graduates will be equipped with a broad understanding of the concepts, observations and numerical problem solving used in astronomy and science more generally, and gain an appreciation of the relevant scientific literature and research methods.
Environment and Sustainability major
This sixteen unit program provides graduates with knowledge of selected basic concepts and skills associated with the broad area of environmental science, climate and sustainability. The program aims to produce graduates with knowledge and skills for the integration of social, environmental and economic research within an interdisciplinary planning and policy framework and to provide capacity for the sustainable management of natural resources, businesses and communities.
Mathematics and Statistics major
This sixteen unit Mathematics and Statistics major is designed to provide an opportunity for graduates from any discipline, other than Mathematics and Statistics, to gain skills and knowledge in key areas of mathematics and/or statistics which relate to their needs and meet the academic requirements of their profession or industry. This program is particularly suitable for school teachers who wish to update their mathematics/statistics skills.
Program aims
The aim of the Master of Science program is to produce graduates that are equipped with essential scientific knowledge and an appreciation of the latest literature and technologies.
Astronomy major
This major is designed to provide an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in astronomy and develop scientific research skills. The program thus provides professional development in science for those in educational or science communication careers, and a specialist foundation of knowledge and skills for subsequent higher degree research.
Environment and Sustainability major
Modern environment and natural resource management requires the integration of social, environmental and economic research within an interdisciplinary planning and policy framework. It also requires a capacity to handle complexity and uncertainty and the application of different methods of analysis and different approaches to governance and community engagement. This coursework Masters program addresses these needs by providing important core studies and flexibility in choice of elective studies that will enhance their skills and knowledge in the broad discipline of environment and sustainability. Adaptation to climate change and sustainability science are emphasised in global and regional contexts in this major.
Mathematics and Statistics major
The MSCN (Math/Stat) major is designed to provide an opportunity for graduates from other than mathematics and statistics programs to gain advanced skills and knowledge in key areas of mathematics and/or statistics which relate to their career needs and the needs of their profession or industry.
