Master of Catchment Science
The Master of Catchment Science has been developed to meet emerging knowledge and skill needs within the water management sector. With this degree, you'll develop an understanding of catchment chemical, microbiological, ecological, hydrological and morphological processes, determinants, and interrelationships across a range of scales. You'll learn to quantitatively and critically analyze, model, forecast, and evaluate the consequences of changes in these processes using a range of leading data management, analysis, modeling and visualization techniques, and software packages.
This includes the ability to undertake a full environmental and project-based cost-benefit analysis for catchment management options, as well as to scientifically diagnose catchment management issues and design the whole of the catchment, the whole of the water cycle management solutions. Knowledge and skills in these areas are in demand in water utilities as well as local, state and federal government, and consultancies.
This Masters's degree is hosted by the International WaterCentre and developed and delivered in collaboration with Griffith's Australian Rivers Institute (ARI), the School of Engineering and Built Environment, and the School of Environment and Sciences. Available on-campus with some courses offered online, this degree draws on a range of expert academic lecturers, industry guest speakers, practical workshops, and field trips, as well as ARI's research expertise in areas of catchment processes and hydrology. It also includes a significant work-based research project so you can apply your learning and gain practical outcomes while you study, combined with individual mentoring meetings to help you succeed academically and professionally.
