The diverse research interests of the teaching staff and the variety of
facilities available afford a wide range of research possibilities to graduate
students in human and physical geography and environmental science. In human
geography several members have conducted research in aspects of public policy
relevant to urban and regional development and environmental considerations. A
further strength is in the area of development studies and in the
interpretation of changing attitudes to the environment in Australia. Strong
research interests in physical geography include geomorphic process studies,
palynology, Quaternary ecology, climatology, the reconstruction of Cainozoic
environments and geographic information systems and remote sensing. Many of the
MA and PhD theses already completed have been concerned with research problems
in Australia but, depending upon available research funds, fieldwork outside
Australia may also be possible.

The goal of the Graduate School of Environmental Science is to promote
understanding of the interactions of ecological and social processes, leading
to action to facilitate a sustainable world. The graduate programs, therefore,
focus on research and postgraduate course work in environmental analysis and
management; linking and integrating perspectives derived from the sciences and
humanities in relation to socio-environmental processes, environmental policies
and management strategies; understanding the social and intellectual contexts
within which disciplinary understanding and knowledge are generated and used.
Graduate
programs in environmental science aim to broaden experience and awareness in
the areas of environmental conservation, resource management and environmental
planning; to facilitate work and communication with staff and other students
who hold degrees in diverse disciplines and to develop intellectual tools to
function effectively in the social constructs that form our environments and
their dislocations. The programs also enhance candidates' sensitivity to the
complexity of the world system, help to develop a caring and responsible stance
toward it and provide the opportunity to continue studies at graduate level in
key areas of interest and/or previous training.
Courses offered are a Master of Environmental Science either by coursework or
research, a Masters Qualifying in environmental science either by coursework or
research, a Graduate Diploma of Environmental Science, a Graduate Diploma in
Corporate Environmental Management and a Faculty Graduate Certificate in
corporate environmental management. All courses require the study of core
subjects which provide the integrative elements of the programs. The number of
elective subjects varies between programs and are chosen to broaden
perspectives, provide background, enable candidates to pursue specialist
studies, complement their work and provide personal interest and growth.
Electives may be taken from any faculty of the university.
Applications are sought from people of all backgrounds and disciplines, not
only from the sciences. Further information and the Graduate School of
Environmental Science handbook are available from the department.

The MA by research is available on Clayton campus, and is intended for students wishing to obtain the internationally accepted research degree which testifies to high standards of initiative, independence, and innovation and which, if gained at a sufficient standard, is accepted as a qualification for admission to the PhD. Furthermore, students undertaking the masters degree by research may be given the option, under certain circumstances, to upgrade their candidature to PhD.
Students
successfully completing this course should have enhanced their expertise in
current techniques and critical thinking in geography and further developed
their capacity to undertake independent, original research under the guidance
of a qualified supervisor. They should have demonstrated their ability to write
clearly in an appropriate, scholarly manner on a substantial topic in
geography.
Note that the department also offers a Master of Environmental Science degree
by coursework and research, details for which are outlined below.
On the recommendation of the head of the department, the Arts faculty board may admit to masters candidature by research an applicant who has gained tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline in the form of a honours degree with a grade of H2A or H1, or a masters qualifying year with a substantial research component and a distinction average, or a qualification deemed to be equivalent. In normal circumstances, no credit will be granted for the coursework component of this degree.
The
MA research degree in geography entails either a thesis of 40,000-60,000 words
in length (known as the 100 per cent thesis) or a shorter thesis (35,000-40,000
words, 75 per cent) plus twelve points of coursework chosen from the fifth-year
level subjects listed below.
Whether a student is allowed to undertake a thesis on a particular topic is
contingent upon the availability of appropriate supervision. Individual
subjects are offered according to the availability of staff and subject to
sufficient enrolments. The research only degree is completed in normal
circumstances in two years of full-time work (or the equivalent part-time)
whilst the coursework combined research degree is normally completed in one
year of full-time or two years of part-time candidature.

General
The MQual coursework program is designed for students who have a three-year
bachelors degree in geography or a related discipline and who wish to qualify
to proceed to a masters by coursework program.
Students successfully completing the MQual by coursework program with credit average marks will have undertaken a selection of subjects which develop advanced level scholarly skills and techniques and an understanding of theoretical concepts and academic debates in modern geography. The objective is to encourage and develop the capacities of promising students to the point that they qualify to apply to the MA by coursework in geography.
Applicants must have a pass degree with a major in geography or an allied discipline with at least a credit level average in the third part (the last year) of the major, or qualifications deemed to be equivalent. Students who have completed relevant subjects at fourth-year level with grades of credit or above may apply for a maximum of twenty-four credit points at the time of their application for entry to the course. Credit will not be granted retrospectively. All applications for credit are subject to approval by the department and the faculty.
The program consists of subjects to the value of forty-eight points chosen, in normal circumstances, from the fourth-year level subjects listed below. Students may choose either GYM4840 (Directed studies in geography) or GYM4880 (Special topic in geography) but not both as part of their selection of subjects. GYM 4960 (Research project in geography) may not be included in this program. Students are assisted in their subject choices by advice from the head of the department, the deputy head, or the graduate coordinator. The program is one year full-time or two years part-time.

The Faculty Certificate aims to provide a possible alternative entry point for potential graduate students and to offer an opportunity for suitably qualified people to upgrade their academic credentials. The program is intended for high school geography and environmental science teachers and others associated with professional geography or environmental science or allied disciplines in industry or government. The course may be completed in one semester full-time study or two semesters part-time.
Students successfully completing this program should have upgraded and enhanced their professional qualifications by undertaking fourth-year level geography subjects to the value of twenty-four points. Students successfully completing the Faculty Certificate with average marks of credit or better may apply for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science (which is itself a potential qualification for entry into the Master of Environmental Science by coursework). Furthermore, provided interest is shown by a sufficient number of students completing the Faculty Certificate with credit level average marks, there is a possibility that the department will offer a graduate diploma to them in future years. Thus, the Faculty Certificate may become a qualification for entry into the geography postgraduate programs.
Candidates are required (in normal circumstances) to have a professional background of at least five years in geography, environmental science, or a related field; or a qualification deemed by the faculty board to be equivalent. A professional background may include, but is not limited to, employment in teaching geography or environmental science or an allied discipline, in government or industry in a position requiring skills in planning or mapping or spatial analysis or resource use and allocation, and in professional writing or research on themes relevant to geography, environmental science, or an allied discipline.
With the advice of the department, subjects to the value of twenty-four points are chosen from the subjects listed below as 'Geography graduate subjects: fourth-year level'; however, the subjects GYM4820 (Seminar in geography) and GYM4960 (Research project in geography) may not be included in this program.
Subjects are offered according to the availability of staff and sufficient enrolments.

Coordinator: Dr Peter Cock
The degree seeks to provide primary insight into the nature of the environmental problematique through a suite of core coursework subjects, a small number of elective subjects complementary to candidates' prior studies and an extensive interdisciplinary research experience involving both team based and individual reporting. It has been designed for students seeking a HECS-funded program which broadens and deepens their existing knowledge through a one-year program in environmental science; provides intensive training in environmental - ie interdisciplinary as well as disciplinary - research; enables them to apply their disciplinary training in the enhanced setting of a substantial interdisciplinary research project and enables them to gain an understanding of the politics or social construction of environmental understanding and its generation through research. Research students are required to achieve a credit (60C) in each of their core and foundation subjects and a credit average overall for their elective subjects in order to qualify. Core and foundation subjects are defined by a 'C' or an 'F' at the end of the subject code.
On completion of this course students should have broadened their experience and awareness in the areas of environmental conservation, resource management and environmental planning; worked and communicated with other students and staff who hold degrees in diverse disciplines; developed the intellectual tools to function effectively in the social constructs that form our environments and their dislocations; and developed their sensitivity and a responsible attitude to the complexity of the world system. They should also have applied these understandings to a substantial project through further education and experience in both individual and interdisciplinary team research and should be able to present their research results in forms accessible not only to an academic audience but also to broader community forums for whom environmental matters are important.
Candidates must have either an honours degree in any discipline with a minimum H2A grade or equivalent, or a Masters Qualifying in environmental science (research) with a grade of H2A or above from Monash University or the equivalent.
Electives at fifth-year level to the value of twelve points.
A research project worth 66 per cent. This includes multidisciplinary team research (to produce a team report), and individual research on a topic arising from the team project and results in the production of an integrated research folio.
Candidates who have not completed the MQual in environmental science (research) from Monash University may be required to complete ENV501C (Systems thinking and practice 1) and ENV503C (Interdisciplinary team research) in lieu of electives.
One year full-time and up to two years part-time. Candidates must complete the core subject and the team research component in the first year. The individual research and electives may be completed in the remaining time according to the candidate's requirements. Minimum time for submission of the integrated research folio is one year.
