|  The Faculty of Sustainability, Environmental and Life Sciences at Murdoch University includes three Schools, each offering a number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses of study dealing with areas of the Environment and Natural Resources. Staff in the Schools are highly qualified, dedicated teachers who are also actively engaged in research. The Faculty has a number of associated research centres and institutes.
The School of Environmental Science focuses specifically on environmental science, one of the few schools in an Australian university to do so and the oldest, continually operating School of Environmental Science in Western Australia. In a recent independent review, the School was rated as ‘already in the top rank in Australia, and it has the potential to be acknowledged as the premier Environmental School in Australia’.
The school meets the needs of students with their different career and environmental goals by offering seven related undergraduate courses ranging from Environmental Science and Marine Science, through to Environmental Restoration, Environmental Management and Ecotourism and other more technology favoured courses.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS A number of postgraduate qualifications including the Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma each in the specialist areas of Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management are offered. Our Master of Science (Environmental Science) is a one year coursework degree available to those wishing to upgrade their qualifications. Our postgraduate research degrees include Research Masters with Training, MPhil and PhD qualifications.
The School of Engineering and Energy offers programs in the area of Energy Studies. Energy Studies is an exciting new field of science concerned with new approaches to energy conversion, energy management and energy policy.
A Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Energy Management has been available as a three year degree from 2002 as a BSc in Energy studies and the degree was renamed for 2007. Options are offered to allow students to supplement their studies with a minor or double major from another Murdoch university program of study.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Engergy Studies is designed for graduates in any discipline who wish to acquire knowledge and skills in energy studies in one year of full-time.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Energy and the Environment is intended to provide postgraduate training for international professionals working, or wishing to work, in the field of environmental management of the energy industry.
