Postgraduate Students

The postgraduate students at SEGS are engaged in research which will change our understanding of our world. Whether investigating the urban environment, working out how to improve mine-site rehabilitation or determining how mineral deposits were formed, their discoveries will change our towns, our economies and our lives. Take some time to see what research projects they are working on. If you are interested in undertaking a PhD at the University of Western Australia, you might like to check out our prospective postgraduate student information.
