Overview

Master of Sustainability

The duration of this program has been reduced from 2 years to 1.5 years, rendering it ineligible for the Post-Study Work stream.

Globalisation, population growth and climate change dramatically impact the natural environment, economies, and societies worldwide. 

Sustainability issues are critical to our future. Humanity is placing increasing pressure on the environment through growing consumption, resource use, and increased degradation of natural capital such as land, water, air and biodiversity.

Deakin's Master of Sustainability prepares you to address the complex and interacting social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability issues and global challenges. 

Throughout this course, you will develop advanced knowledge and contemporary skills in the multidisciplinary approaches to examining why environmental impacts occur and developing appropriate, cost-effective and targeted solutions to managing these impacts.

Specialization for availability:

  • Sustainable Regional Development
  • Environmental Management

 

Work experience

Students can complete an industry practice pathway, equivalent to 4 credit points, instead of a research pathway.

As a pathway to PhD, the proposed courses have a key component in the form of a research project.
