The School's research strengths are broad and include eighteen fields of research ranked at either world standard, above world standard, or well above world standard in the 2018 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessment.
Our research priority areas are deeply interconnected and include agriculture, specifically protected cropping and horticulture; crop production and plant protection; food and nutrition; forensic science; sustainable water management; environmental health, human physiology; genetics and the environment; and biodiversity.
We work with partners of all sizes and backgrounds, engaging in activities ranging from training and up-skilling to short-term fee-for-research projects, multi-year co-designed research collaborations and joint ventures. Our staff collaborate well with the WSU Research institutes for example, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) and National Institute for complementary medicine (NICM).
The School of Science teaches a range of undergraduate programs and postgraduate programs, spanning disciplines including biomedical sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, natural, biological and chemical sciences, environmental science and ecology, food and nutrition, forensic science and zoology.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
