Overview

Bachelor of Social Science - Environmental Sustainability

Social science applies the 'science' of research and analysis to the world’s complex 'social' problems, such as sustainability, equity, and diversity, to create positive change.

Griffith is ranked 151-175 in Social Sciences worldwide.

Environmental Sustainability: Environmental sustainability is the world’s biggest issue. 

This major is not about the ‘hard science’ of the environment but instead explores the key social and policy issues behind the need for sustainable management of our planet’s finite resources. 

In this major, you’ll study environmental politics, climate change policy, the economics of natural resources, and environmental ethics and culture.

There are also opportunities to undertake an internship in an area of your interest and join a global study tour.
