Formal training covers zoology, botany, genetics, molecular biology, agriculture, resource management, geography, law, policy studies, economics, mathematics and biometry. The group also brings together a unique blend of personal skills and experience in experimental and field research, contract work, statistical and numerical analysis, policy development, government liaison and resource survey and management. Postgraduate Research Opportunities for postgraduate research are provided at honours, masters and PhD levels. Almost all of our research and related activities are conducted with external support. Both staff and postgraduate students benefit from engaging in highly relevant research with adequate budgets while at the same time forging important links with potential granting agencies and employers.
International students make up a small but significant component of the postgraduate student body.
Graduate Employment Graduates of the postgraduate program are gaining relevant employment. Further details can be obtained by perusing the postgraduate student files. This is in addition to project funding from a large variety of sources. The undergraduate degree program leading to postgraduate study in applied ecology was first offered by the School of Resource and Environmental Science in 1969, and is one of the longest-standing environmental science degrees on offer in Australia. Its strengths include the interdisciplinary curriculum, emphasis on field studies and its overall applied nature and relevance to contemporary problems.
