Overview

Master of Environmental Management

Develop the analytical and strategic skills to tackle today's most vital and challenging global issues, such as climate change, pollution and land clearing.

UQ is recognised as Australia's premier university for the study of the increasingly important field of environmental management. 

At the University of Queensland, you'll learn how to analyse and implement strategies that balance social equity, environmental sustainability and economic needs and develop essential techniques and methods for resolving sustainable development issues.

You can tailor your study to fit your career aspirations too.
