Master of Environment and Conservation

As the transition to a greener economy accelerates, demand for professionals with green skills has never been greater. From sustainable natural resource management and biodiversity protection to improved energy efficiency and waste reduction, environmental professionals play a vital role in helping organisations adopt more sustainable practices across a wide range of industries. The multidisciplinary Master of Environment and Conservation will equip you with the capabilities to develop informed, evidence based responses to today's environmental and conservation challenges. You'll build foundational knowledge through a set of core units before broadening your expertise via one of two specialisations in environment or conservation. Throughout your studies, you'll apply your learning through fieldwork, data analysis and environmental assessment while exploring how ecological, social and policy factors shape environmental outcomes. Graduating with advanced theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, you'll be well-positioned for diverse careers across government, industry and the not-for-profit sector.
