The minerals, energy, geotechnical and environmental geoscience sectors remain some of the world’s most significant industries.

To take your place in these industries, you’ll need the type of advanced, specialised knowledge that the Master of Geoscience provides.

You’ll take intensive specialised subjects in geoscience, but also round out your skill set with business and leadership subjects, all taught by leading academics and industry professionals.

A course tailored for you

You can choose your geoscience subjects from a wide range, to match your career goals. We have subject offerings across economic geology, energy, earth structure and geophysics and environmental geoscience.

More than just technical skills

We know that soft skills are important too, which is why we offer a wide range of professional skills subjects covering business, leadership, project management, and scientific communication. These skills will give you the edge in your future geoscience workplace.

Access to the best Australia has to offer

You’ll have the opportunity to study subjects in a range of geoscientific fields at other leading Australian universities through the Victorian Institute of Earth and Planetary Sciences (VIEPS) partnership.

Our graduates go on to work as geologists, geoscientists, geophysicists, spatial analysts, environmental scientists and consultants, conservationists, and geological surveyors.

Employers in this field include:

• Government departments of environment and economic development including Geoscience Australia
• Mining and mineral exploration companies such as BHP, ExxonMobil, Woodside Energy, Shell and Rio Tinto
• Universities and public research institutions such as the CSIRO
