Bachelor of Environmental Policy and Management

Earth is home to 7.8 billion people; and we're careless. Businesses dump waste into oceans. Loggers cut down precious forests. Animal species die out. Environmental policy stops this from happening: rainforest protections, national parks, fishing guidelines, wildlife sanctuaries. Environmental policy makers problem-solve and protect. They stand between the environment and processes that exploit it.

Our Bachelor of Environmental Policy and Management challenges you to make a positive impact. You will:

• research how humans affect natural environments
• explore approaches to conservation and sustainability
• create policy and plans for managing environmental problems
• learn about climate change, biodiversity, population growth and resource scarcity

There are also travel opportunities. We offer exchanges and study tours where you'll tackle real-life problems in vulnerable communities. Environmental expertise is in demand. You could spend your days outdoors as a park ranger or draw up plans for big business and government. You might set up programs to restore habitats for local wildlife. Perhaps you'll work towards sustainability in remote communities, build policy around renewable energy, or get involved with ecotourism.
