Career opportunities

Land and Water specialisation

Land and water management are the biggest issues facing Australia as a whole. With climate change, increased competition for resources and declining biodiversity, the Land and Water specialisation provides graduates with extensive skills in river restoration and management, water resource management and soil analysis. Additionally, a solid grounding in the highly sought after skill of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides graduates with a unique opportunity to apply their skills in a wide range of employment possibilities.

Catchment Management specialisation

This specialisation combines a strong grounding in Australia's fauna and flora, climate, soils and landscapes with an understanding of Australia's unique agricultural environment. Agriculture is the biggest land and water user in Australia and to be best able to contribute to the successful operation of agriculture on a catchment scale, while at the same time minimising impacts on the flora, fauna and water resources of the country an appreciation and understanding of the agricultural industry is essential.

Catchment Management agencies across the country are seeking graduates with more than just an understanding of the natural environment, and more than graduates with just an agricultural science degree. The complex nature of issues on a catchment scale requires both. Graduates are therefore sought after by industries seeking this combination of skills and can find employment in Catchment Management Authorities, Landcare organisations, Government Natural Resource Management agencies and many other areas.

Conservation and Management specialisation

With a strong grounding in Australia's fauna and flora, climate, soils and landscapes through studies in the classroom and field, graduates enjoy a wide range of employment opportunities. In particular, graduates are sought after to provide the knowledge necessary for conservation and restoration of Australia's unique ecosystems.
