About the course

Models are becoming an increasingly important tool in many branches of modern society due to advances in science and technology. As our understanding of these models improves, the complexity of the types of questions being asked increases. The objective of this major is to train students in techniques of model development, use and assessment.

　　A key requirement for future scientists, industry leaders, resource managers, and policy makers is an ability to build and evaluate models and/or interpret model outputs. Career opportunities for graduates extend into every part of society, including: research (e.g. CSIRO, Universities), public sector (e.g. Bureau of Meteorology, Murray Darling Basin Authority, state government agencies), and private sector (e.g. engineering, finance).

　　Students may choose to complement this major with a quantitative applications major or minor consisting of courses from areas such as: physics, earth and environmental science, global change science, climate science and policy, environmental geoscience, geophysics, quantitative finance, or mathematical finance.
