Overview

The Master of Earth Sciences (Advanced) at The Australian National University (ANU) immerses students in the complex processes shaping our planet. This programme combines interdisciplinary coursework across Earth Science disciplines—including geochemistry, geophysics, and ocean and climate change—with hands-on training in research methods, computational geosciences, and data analysis. Students then conduct supervised research projects on diverse topics such as biogeochemistry, experimental petrology, or planetary sciences. The programme is designed for graduates seeking to deepen their expertise in Earth Sciences through both theoretical and applied research.
