This course presents students with a unique opportunity to contribute to an emerging challenge that we all face - how to make our lives, livelihoods, communities, environments and spaces sustainable. To meet this challenge, society will need graduates with an awareness and understanding of disciplines from across environmental, social and economic domains. The environmental domain covers the water, air and soil and the biota that inhabit them, while the economic domain deals with the financial and managerial aspects of business and resource decisions. The social domain recognizes that people are both the cause of and solution to sustainability issues. Students will receive practical and theoretical guidance in a set of skills that are essential for solving problems: systems thinking, critical thinking, and decision-making, and will build personal attributes that will enable them to work in teams to generate new ideas, and new solutions. Studies will include an emphasis on field-based exercises and workplace learning. Course structure Students are required to complete 19 Core units and a Major, with three of the eight units from the Major already included in the Core program. Sustainable Business Management Major Enables students to construct a business case for sustainability through developing an accounting framework for a sustainability venture. Students will address the challenges faced by organizations in setting/maintaining their sustainability agendas, working towards program, project and organizational sustainability for businesses, and being able to negotiate the tensions that exist between resource management and profit imperatives. Employment Opportunities Businesses incorporate the principles of sustainability and corporate social responsibility in day-to-day operations. Students with these skills will be employable across a range of industries. Possible future job titles Sustainability Officer, Sustainability Practitioner.
