Why choose this program? This program is scheduled to commence from Semester I/2008 (subject to approval). Water is arguably the most important current environmental issue across Australia, and will continue to be into the foreseeable future, particularly in Southeast Queensland. Public and political debate within Australia are dominated by water issues, including critical water shortages, alternative water supplies, and the health of rivers and coastal environments. This program will equip you with 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 field, including water resource management, aquatic ecosystem conservation and restoration, and monitoring and improving water quality. Gold Coast majors include: - Aquatic Science
- Water Quality and Technology
