River Researchers

The Bachelor of Science (Water Resources) will give you the skills to provide leadership in finding and implementing solutions to local, regional and national water resource issues.

The program provides a foundation across the biological, chemical, physical and social sciences to build an understanding of the whole water cycle, from the catchment to the coast, and from water source to household taps.

Local, state and federal government agencies, engineering and environmental consultancies, and a range of industries are all undergoing a rapid expansion in the water area to respond to the growing importance of water as an issue within Australia and internationally.

You will graduate from this program with the knowledge and skills required to meet the growing need for water professionals across a wide range of fields, including water resource management, aquatic ecosystem conservation and restoration, and monitoring and improving water quality.
