About Degree
A better chance for our environment
Responding effectively to environmental problems involves far more than applying scientific knowledge, or the ‘top-down’ regulation of people and their environments.
The future of our planet relies on informed and creative thinking around policy and practice. This kind of environmental expertise is critical and in high demand.
What will you do?
Our Master of Environmental Policy and Management addresses how the signature environmental issues of our time are to be managed. You will:
- choose between a coursework or research specialisation
- explore environmental governance and planning in depth
- apply your knowledge to real-world issues
- pursue electives aligned to your personal and professional interests
- undertake meaningful research projects.
Where could it take you?
You could set up environmental programs for the public to air their concerns or better understand issues that affect them. You might negotiate policy design with private businesses and government sectors to generate sustainable management systems. Or, perhaps you’ll research economic incentives or decentralised solutions for better environmental outcomes.
