The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney)
UNSW’s Master of Environmental Management is a two-year full-time (or part-time equivalent) postgraduate degree that will prepare you for a career that tackles our biggest ecological challenges through change-leadership and sustainability.
In this master’s degree, you’ll learn to think about environmental problems through a number of lenses, forming a deep understanding of the socio-political influences that drive them. In addition to the program’s key focus on conceptual tools, you will also develop experiential and practical skills to inform ethical and restorative sustainability leadership in a range of professional contexts.
