Science for sustainability

Want to understand humanity’s impacts on the natural environment and the long term implications? Or learn how key ecological systems such as food and water are changing in the face of human development?

 

Gain a broad-based understanding of how the natural environment works, and use tools and techniques from ecology, environmental science, geography, engineering, transport and mathematics to develop practical solutions to the world’s problems.

Learn how infrastructure solutions in engineering and transport are attempting to solve key sustainability issues.

Gain practical hands-on experience in the laboratory and in the field as well as learning from key case studies.
