Models have grown into a vital resource across various sectors of contemporary society, driven by scientific and technological progress. As we deepen our comprehension of these models, the nature of inquiries we pose becomes more sophisticated. This major aims to equip students with skills in creating, utilizing, and analyzing models.
Future scientists, corporate leaders, resource planners, and policymakers must possess the capability to construct, assess models, or understand their results. Graduates can pursue careers in diverse fields such as: research institutions (e.g., CSIRO, universities); government organizations (e.g., Bureau of Meteorology, Murray Darling Basin Authority, state agencies); and private industries (e.g., engineering, financial sectors).
Students can enhance this major by pairing it with a quantitative applications focus or minor, selecting courses from disciplines like: physics; environmental and earth sciences; climate studies and policy; geoscience; geophysics; quantitative or mathematical finance.
