Geoscience is the study of our dynamic planet and helps us to understand the origin and evolution of Earth, its ancient environments and climates, natural hazards and the formation of natural resources including groundwater, petroleum and minerals.
Knowledge of past and present earth processes is fundamental to predicting future changes, particularly in the area of climate and environmental change. As the majority of Australia’s mineral and petroleum resources are found in Western Australia, UWA is in a prime location for students to gain geological skills.
A Graduate Certificate in Geoscience will develop your ability to gather and interpret geological information for a wide range of purposes.
Domestic students may be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place within this course.
