Australia's economy is heavily reliant on the export of minerals and other natural resources and there are excellent job prospects in all areas of geoscience. Australia is currently experiencing a minerals boom and the Minerals Council of Australia has concluded that the mining industry will require an increasing number of trained geologists and geoscientists into the future. Australia is also facing ongoing environmental challenges such as shortage of water, increased salinization of agricultural soils and loss of biodiversity resulting in strong demand for comprehensively trained geoscientists.

This innovative degree provides the opportunity to study a major in Fossil Fuels, Mineral Deposits or Remediaton and includes topics such as resource geology and environmental issues, optical mineralogy and igneous petrology, ore deposit geology, exploration and environmental geochemistry, field mapping and sedimentology, palaeontology and stratigraphy, applied geophysics, among others. The major completed will appear on the academic transcript and testamur.

As it is recommended for professional historians to engage in the study of a cognate discipline relevant to their chosen professional speciality - and because historical inquiry is now widely accepted as elemental to various professions beyond those conventionally associated with history - this course also includes a field of study opportunity whereby the student's study and training in history may be purposefully combined with other disciplines, to facilitate education in, for example, historical fiction and writing, social history and criminology, family history and sociology, national history and languages, cultural history and music.
