Course outline

Work with people to build a better world and make a real difference with the Bachelor of Sustainability. This degree integrates the social sciences and humanities with environmental sciences and natural resource management to give students a thorough understanding of sustainability and help students build on their experience to develop real-world strategies that work. By broadening knowledge, plus honing critical, analytical and problem-solving skills, students can advance their career while working towards finding tangible solutions for environmental and social dilemmas.

UNE is the first university in Australia to offer the Bachelor of Sustainability and the course remains unique. The degree is as innovative as the solutions required to address current problems in Australia and across the globe, and UNE is committed to meeting these complex challenges in thoughtful and meaningful ways.

The approach combines a range of sustainability-oriented fields of study including environmental and resource management, sustainable development, geography, law, economics, psychology, ethics and social policy. Students will learn all-encompassing perspectives on how to strategise and form solutions that will give students a professional advantage in the workplace.
