Want the skills to develop and implement sustainability strategies across a range of sectors?
Globalisation, population growth and climate change are dramatically impacting the natural environments, economies, and societies of the world. A key focus of the Master of Sustainability is developing an in-depth understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals, which every member country of the United Nations is committed to achieving by 2030.
The flexible structure of the course provides you with the opportunity to build the degree for the career you want. You will first acquire a solid foundation in sustainability before tailoring your studies through the pursuit of a specialisation in either environmental management, health and environment or sustainable regional development. You will also have the option to either undertake industry practice or further broaden your skills through your choice of course elective units.
Connections to industry are an integral part of this course. These connections ensure you have the opportunity to gain an industry perspective and establish professional networks prior to graduation. Guest lectures from key industry partners are embedded into the course to provide you with an understanding of sustainability issues in a real-world context.
