Aim

The Bachelor of Sustainable Environments has been designed to meet the needs of government, business and industry, to supply graduates with a broad knowledge of environmental sustainability and provide specialisation in one of three awards.

Content & Structure

Students are required to complete 108 units of study for the successful completion of the program. The program consists of a first year which is common to all four awards.
