Graduate School of The Environment
Higher Degree Research
The GSE's multidisciplinary approach and high research output meets the demands for new knowledge and learning to deal with complex environmental issues. The GSE has connections to industry, government and the community, dealing with the practical issues that face people and organisations in all spheres – from the coal and power industry to marine tourism and fisheries. Our research has applications for industrial operations to government policy. We are focused on outcomes that make a change for the better in the environment, for society and the economy. Perhaps that is why we are able to attract a diverse array of funding sources for our research.
Research students in the Graduate School of the Environment (GSE) have the opportunity to work with academics at the forefront of their fields. Generous scholarship schemes for applicants with proven research experience and excellent potential are available. The GSE conducts and promotes interdisciplinary research in a wide variety of environmental areas covering the natural, social and technical sciences.
