Our environment has many faces: cities, wilderness, agricultural lands, the oceans and everything in between. The Master of Environment has many faces too. We offer 12 different streams of study, from climate change to environmental science, to public policy, to sustainable cities and more, including a tailored stream that you can design yourself. You’ll develop specialised knowledge and technical skills in an environmental discipline or field of practice, and graduate with the confidence to use this know-how to create positive changes in our environment. Our graduates go on to effect real change in the world. Diverse and multidisciplinary We aim to be truly flexible and collaborative in our approach to teaching and, as such, our cohort is made up of students with a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, from commerce and economics to zoology. You'll learn to work effectively in this multidisciplinary environment, and develop the technical and analytical skills you need to research and practice in your area of specialisation.

Biodiversity loss is one of the key environmental challenges globally. Sustainable societies depend on successful conservation and restoration of this diversity, at genetic, species, community and landscape scales. Students will explore the biophysical and social factors shaping endeavours to conserve and restore wildlife and vegetation. They will develop skills for planning and managing biodiversity at species, community and landscape scales. The cross-faculty teaching program ensures students have a sound understanding of the ecological principles underpinning conservation and restoration, and an appreciation of the political and community dimensions of establishing and implementing these plans. The major is suitable for people with undergraduate studies and/or professional work experience in life sciences, forestry, natural resource management, agriculture, parks and wildlife management, and environmental engineering. It is also an appropriate major for government and industry professionals working in conservation and development who are looking to upgrade or link their skills to environmental management. Graduates can expect to find employment in regulatory agencies, local and state government authorities, environmental consulting companies, and industries with international interests in developing economies
