Bachelor of Sustainability

The Bachelor of Sustainability offered by the University of New England focuses on equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the complex sustainability challenges facing our world today. This degree encompasses a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from sociology, environmental science, and policy studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in the Australian context. Students explore topics such as environmental management, social justice, and community engagement, thus gaining insights into how sustainable practices can be effectively implemented across various sectors.

The programme is structured over three years and students complete a series of units of study, each contributing credit points toward the degree. A capstone project is integrated into the programme, encouraging students to apply their learning in practical scenarios. Work-integrated learning is a key component of this degree, allowing students to undertake professional placements that offer real-world experience in sustainability-focused roles, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practice.

Students enrolled in this course develop critical skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication, which are essential for addressing sustainability issues in diverse environments. The Bachelor of Sustainability is ideal for individuals passionate about making a difference in the world, particularly those looking to work in government, non-profits, or consultancy roles that focus on environmental and social sustainability.
