Studies
in environmental science are concerned with the relationships between humans
and their biogeological contexts with the aim of integrating the two with the
insights offered by both the humanities and the sciences. Environmental science
recognises the interdependence of humans and the rest of nature and research
emphasises the processes and impacts of humanenvironment interactions, policy
development and implications, and the implementation of management strategies
favourable to the environment.
The course has been designed to both broaden and deepen students' existing
knowledge, providing intensive interdisciplinary as well as disciplinary
research training in either the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Science. In
addition to research in an area of specific interest, through core coursework
the course offers insight into the ideological, philosophical and disciplinary
approaches to environment and sustainability, and provides experience in the
interdisciplinary team-based research which is an essential component of
training in this area. Elective units offer a complement to candidates' prior
studies.
Supervision may be within either the School of Geography and Environmental
Science or the Faculty of Science.
Candidates must have either an honours degree in any discipline with a minimum H2A grade or equivalent, or a Masters Qualifying in Environmental Science with a research component with an average grade of H2A or above from Monash University or equivalent qualification with a minimum grade of distinction for the research component.
