It is well recognised that businesses must have robust environmental strategies to succeed in the 21st century.
ExChiefecutive Officers have to consider carbon footprints, sustainable practices, global climate change, and waste management issues.
These are environmentally sensitive issues which have resulted in an increase of related legislation. In addition, some business activities require a knowledge of the environment. In the aquaculture industry, for example, biological knowledge is required to raise fish, prawns, algae and other crops. But there is no substitute for a good business plan. The benefit of this degree is that it gives you the knowledge and skill to do both.
This multi-disciplinary program uses the university's strengths in business, environmental and marine science. Students are provided with core knowledge and training in the application of business and environmental principles.
