Student profile

Michelle Elenore Grassi

Senior Environmental Scientist, Environmental Resources Management Australia Pty Ltd (ERM)
DPh (Environmental/ Analytical Chemistry) 2005; BSc (First Class Honours in Chemistry) 2001

I chose postgraduate studies at UWA, as the opportunity had arisen to work on a similar project that extended my Honours thesis work. I gained so much practical and theoretical knowledge of environmental geochemistry and contaminated site remediation that I wanted to do more - so I chose to do a PhD.

We offer postgraduate coursework and research courses in a wide variety of subject areas. 

Some courses include a mixture of coursework units and research.

All you need to do is choose a program that meets your experience, interests and goals.

Serious about research?

You can undertake a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in any area of science. Many disciplines also offer a Master's of Science by pure research. More information is available on the Future Students website.
