Course overview
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. You will be able to narrow your focus, choosing between the Geology and Atmospheric Science streams, and drilling down (or up) even further.

Entry requirements
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
Postgraduate entry
- To be considered for entry into this course, you must have an undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a directly related discipline with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65% (or equivalent) in the best 50 points of appropriate discipline studies at third year.
If the student's current English result is below the direct-entry requirement, consider the university's recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package. When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result. Always confirm exclusions for professional registration courses and the offer conditions.
