Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences

One of the great benefits of a science degree is the ability to gain work experience while travelling overseas.

I have an honours degree in soil science currently works for the Kings Park and Botanical Gardens as a research assistant.

Being able to link in with the research laboratories at Kings Park has been a real bonus during my degree. I have gained valuable skills in designing experiments and managing research I plan to develop my research skills further through a PhD in soil science. I would like to further investigate the soil factors that control plant regeneration at sites disturbed for mining or development.

Other career options open for me include mine site rehabilitation work, working in agriculture to better understand how soils deliver nutrients to plants or as an environmental consultant.

It is very satisfying to be in a position to make a personal contribution to conserving the environment.
