If you’re unsure, a course advisor can help you assess your eligibility.
To be eligible for the University of Tasmania's (UTAS) Master of Environmental Geospatial Science (P7B), applicants generally need a Bachelor's degree in any discipline, or equivalent qualifications deemed acceptable by the College. Specific entry requirements may vary depending on whether the applicant is domestic or international. Domestic applicants may be admitted with relevant professional experience and training, even without a formal degree. International applicants need qualifications equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree and must meet English language proficiency requirements.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
For Domestic Students:
A Bachelor's degree in any discipline is the standard entry requirement.
Applicants without the stated entry requirements but with relevant professional experience may also be considered.
For International Students:
Qualifications equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree are required.
Applicants must meet specific English language requirements.
The required English language proficiency can be demonstrated through various tests, such as IELTS or TOEFL.
For instance, an IELTS score of 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or a TOEFL iBT score of 72 with specific minimum scores in each section (Reading 10, Listening 9, Speaking 16, Writing 19).
Additional Information:
The College of Sciences and Engineering at UTAS makes decisions regarding the equivalence of qualifications for admission.
The Master's program can be completed in either 3 or 4 semesters, depending on the applicant's prior qualifications and their suitability for the program.
Students with a Bachelor's degree in a science field with a major in Environmental Management and/or (Geo)Spatial Sciences, completed to an acceptable standard, may be eligible for the 3-semester option.
The 3-semester course involves 50 credit points of transition units selected to address any knowledge gaps, while the 4-semester course involves 200 credit points.
Both options include a second year with 100 credit points, including either a Research Thesis or Professional Research pathway.
