Master of Science in Atmospheric Science
View
Severe weather, droughts, climate change, and air pollution are but a few of the many atmospheric phenomena that affect society profoundly. Changes to our atmosphere, whether naturally caused or human induced, have an imprint on almost every sector of society including industry, farming, health, sport, recreation and everyday life. As a result, atmospheric science is a high-impact science affecting the wellbeing of the public as well as influencing the development of public policy through its predictions of future weather and climate.
This new two-year Master of Science in Atmospheric Science is designed to develop professional atmospheric scientist who are able to apply their science skills to better understanding, prediction and management of our environment.
The Climate Justice Clinic
View
The Climate Justice Clinic gives students practical experience of a wide range of legal work in a number of commercial law practice areas (public law, administrative law, human rights, environment and planning law) with an overarching focus on climate justice. Students work with leading Australian environmental organisations, senior barristers working in Environment and Climate law, community organisations and campaign groups, and collaborate with community legal services throughout Victoria. The Climate Justice Clinic also helps students contextualise the clinics’ legal work within the broader climate justice movement, and features regular guest speakers from public and private sector law firms and environmental NGOs.
