Graduate
Master of Science (Climate Sciences)
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Master of Science (Climate Sciences) builds advanced understanding of the physical processes driving climate variability and change, positioning graduates for research and applied roles in climate modelling, climate risk analysis and environmental policy as climate expertise becomes increasingly central to government, industry and research organisations. The program suits science, engineering or environmental graduates who want to specialise specifically in climate science rather than treating it as one topic within a broader environmental science degree, building the quantitative and analytical skills climate research and climate risk assessment genuinely require. It positions graduates for roles across climate research institutions, government environmental agencies, and industries increasingly needing in-house climate expertise to manage physical climate risk. Applicants should confirm current program structure and entry requirements directly with UNSW given ongoing curriculum development in this fast-evolving field.
