Natural sciences

Teaching

We are enhancing understanding of the natural world and providing a range of in-depth study choices to support graduates as advocates for our planet. Study options in natural sciences at Flinders includes specialisations in animal behaviour, marine biology, water conservation, palaeontology and more.

Stepping out of the classroom through lab work, fieldwork and placements is integral to our natural science courses. We provide practical experience along with world-class knowledge preparing our students to be leaders in their chosen field.
