Units indexed by faculty Master of Environmental Science by coursework and researchCourse code: 2702 + Course abbreviation: MEnvSc + Course fees: domestic students - fee-waived RTS places available + 1.5 years full-time, 3 years part-time Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionStudies 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 human environment 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. Entry requirementsEntry requirements are either (a) an honours degree in any discipline with a minimum H2A grade or equivalent, or (b) 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, or (c) applicants who do not have prior research experience but have completed a postgraduate degree or diploma with grades of distinction and above in three-quarters of their units may be admitted to the 66% research degree (these applicants will need to enrol for a 12-point supervised research project as part of the required 24 points of coursework). Course structureStudents complete 24 points of coursework: Core units
