Commencements in geoscience Over the period 2002–2008, the number of students commencing in geoscience courses was at its lowest point in 2005 and has since increased, but commencement numbers in 2008 were well below those seen between 2002 and 2004. Between 2005 and 2008, the number of domestic students commencing in undergraduate geoscience (or earth science) courses increased by 34 per cent, from 171 to 229. In 2008, just over one in five students commencing undergraduate geoscience courses were overseas students and just over one in three commencing postgraduate geoscience courses were overseas students.

4.3.3 Projected trends in higher education domestic undergraduate completions, 2009 to 2014 Using recent commencements and completions data, the Taskforce has estimated future numbers of graduates (see Appendix IV). These estimates are based on 2008 data for domestic undergraduate students (the latest data available). Completion numbers have been projected for the years 2009 to 2014, as it is expected a student will be ready to enter the workforce the year after they complete their course ie from 2010 to 2015. Engineering Across all engineering fields, the number of completions for domestic students from undergraduate courses is projected to grow by 11.2 per cent from 6,312 in 2008 to 7,020 in 2014. Tables 18 and 19 provide expected completions across courses relevant to the resources sectors and Appendix IV provides estimates for each year.
