About Master of Sustainability (096752K)
Globalization, population growth and climate change are dramatically impacting the natural environment, economies, and societies around the world. Issues of sustainability are critical to people's future and humanity is placing increasing pressure on the environment through growing consumption, resource use, and increased degradation of natural capital such as land, water, air and biodiversity.
The Master of Sustainability prepares students to address the complex and interacting social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability issues and challenges faced globally. Throughout this course, they will develop advanced knowledge and contemporary skills in the multidisciplinary approaches to examining why environmental impacts occur and developing appropriate cost-effective and targeted solutions to managing these impacts.
Students will explore options for how humanity can meet its growing needs without limiting the ability of future generations to meet theirs. They will graduate with the skills to develop successful sustainability strategies by applying multidisciplinary approaches and taking a ‘triple bottom line’ approach to policy and management solutions, balancing environmental, social and economic considerations.
The flexible structure of the course provides students with the opportunity to specialize in either environmental management or sustainable regional development. They will also have the option to study a range of sustainability issues via electives spanning cities, health, indigenous management, data science and more.
The course provides students with the foundations of sustainability science. In their second year they can pursue an industry-based placement or a research pathway, involving industry-linked research projects that align to their personal interests and career aspirations.
Connections to industry are an integral part of this course and ensures students 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 them with an understanding of sustainability issues in a real-world context.
