Career opportunities

CSU's focus is on education programs that prepare graduates for work. Courses are designed with input from industry, professions and government to develop practical, hands-on qualifications to help you gain valuable skills for new employment opportunities. You will graduate with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, habits and professional networks needed for a successful career.

Government agencies and departments are big employers of our graduates, ensuring development of resources on public land is sustainably managed. Private industry and consultants also require our graduates to ensure businesses are environmentally responsible and sustainable. Additionally, graduates find employment as environmental scientists and ecological researchers where their careers are focused on exploration of new knowledge to address environmental issues nationally and internationally.

Graduates have found positions as:

• field ecologists
• biodiversity officers
• ecological assessment officers
• environmental consultants
• national park rangers
• sustainability officers
• natural resource managers
• catchment managers
• fisheries officers
• environmental scientists
• water resource managers
  

As the course involves training in international environmental issues, and includes international field experience, graduates are well placed to apply for graduate positions with Australian Government's AusAid program, and other international environment and development organisations.
