About
The multidisciplinary and future-focused Master of Environment will provide you with the skills required for roles in emerging green sectors, such as renewable energies, as well as for roles in traditional sectors – industry, construction and agriculture – that are evolving to be greener. And with the degree’s renewed focus on industry engagement, you’ll have unique opportunities to not only build your industry networks, but to gain valuable practical experience working in partnership with industry to develop solutions to genuine environmental challenges.
The Master of Sustainable Development – unique among sustainability degrees – takes a multidisciplinary approach to addressing the evolving needs of the green economy. Drawing on the expertise of specialists from business, law, sociology, geography, planning, health and environmental science, it will provide you with a comprehensive skillset relevant to all sectors, but especially those pivotal to meeting sustainability targets, such as energy production, transportation and finance.
