Master of Science - Earth Sciences
The University of Melbourne
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00116K
Which part of our planet do you want to explore? Deep beneath the lithosphere, or out into the atmosphere? Our research ranges from the solid Earth to the fluid Earth and the processes that operate at the interface of these regions. Youll be able to narrow your focus, choosing between the Geology and Atmospheric Science streams, and drilling down (or up) even further.
