• PART A. Environment and sustainability core studies
  In these studies you will develop an understanding of the interactions and interdependence between nature, society and the economy, and the basic principles of sustainability (social, economic and environmental).
• PART B. Specialisation preparatory studies
  These studies will introduce you to studies at advanced undergraduate or graduate level in your specialisation. They are intended for students whose previous qualification (or experience) is not in a cognate field to the specialisation. These studies will develop the discipline knowledge and skills required to study the stream of your choice.
• PART C. Specialist studies
  In this part you will develop specialist expertise in one specialist area of environment and sustainability, and the research skills or knowledge needed either to undertake independent research or for the capacity to work and communicate across the borders of discipline, context or culture.
• PART D. Advanced practice
  In this part you will undertake professional or scholarly work that will contribute to a portfolio of professional development in your area of specialisation. You have two options. The first option is a program of coursework study where you select the units to suit your own interests. This option includes the opportunity to undertake an internship in the field or an interdisciplinary project. The second option is a 24 point research thesis.  Students wishing to use this Masters course as a pathway to a higher degree by research should take this second option.
