Environmental Consultancy and Conservation
In the face of a global climate crisis, environmental science expertise is increasingly in demand. The Master of Science (Environmental Consultancy and Conservation) is a leading postgraduate environmental restoration course. It combines advanced scientific training and fieldwork with fundamental management skills, preparing you for consulting and leadership roles across this critical area of practice.
At UTS, you’ll learn to identify and mitigate a range of ecological challenges, as well as to rehabilitate the marine and terrestrial environments that are crucial to the health of our planet. You’ll gain theoretical and hands-on experience with coastal protection, land contamination mitigation, wildlife handling and water quality testing and analysis, among others, and you can also tailor your studies through your choice of general or specialist management electives.
By the time you graduate, you’ll be a master of sustainability, a master of ecology and a master of environmental science, ready to deploy your skills in business, government and community settings.
