Welcome to the School of Earth and Environmental SciencesThe School of Earth and Environmental Sciences is located in Townsville and Cairns, central to the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropical Rainforests World Heritage Areas, and at the gateway to the world class mineral fields of NE Australia, Papua New Guinea and the West Pacific. The school is proud of its multi-disciplinary approach, its international outlook, and its extensive network of collaborations with private and government organisations, linked to a strong research tradition and a dynamic learning environment. These attributes ensure that the School is a major contributor to the University’s reputation and listing in the TOP 5% of the World's Universities, and an important factor in our success in producing informed, effective and skilled graduates. We welcome international students to the University and the School who may take advantage of the wide range of subject offerings to be taken over one or two semesters, or during summer break in the beautiful tropical setting of north Queensland.
