Notes

Special Program for High School Teachers A special program has been designed for science graduates, particularly those involved in secondary teaching, who may wish to extend their skills into the earth and environmental sciences. This, in general terms, involves completing a majority of the following units, or equivalents, which broadly cover the main curriculum areas. Most units require some level of on-campus attendance. Additional units are available from a range of options, including some from the School of Education. Students can discuss with an adviser how best to construct the remainder of the course to meet their particular interests. A similar program may also be structured through the Master of Geoscience program. NB: Commencement in July is subject to program availability.
