Course Information

Will we have enough electricity if we all drive electric vehicles? Do you think it is important to have access to fish, food and water that comes from local sources? Do you want to make industries such as forestry, agriculture and fisheries more sustainable? Do you think we waste too much food?

A Bachelor of Environment in Resource and Environmental Management will have you exploring how we manage natural resources like energy, forestry and fisheries. You will learn how social and natural sciences, along with community and rural planning, guide sustainable environmental management. You will gain an understanding of various socio-cultural and Indigenous perspectives, earth processes, environmental impact assessments, analytics in decision-making, conflict resolution and policy, planning, and regulation.
