Fundamentally, all environmental challenges have deep social roots. Social science methodologies provide the tools to uncover these underlying causes and devise effective solutions to complex environmental issues.
Our Environmental Studies program integrates environmental psychology, science and technology studies, critical theory, Mātauranga Māori, policy analysis, and environmental ethics. This interdisciplinary approach equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive positive change.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Studies consists of one year of intensive coursework. The Master’s program builds upon this foundation with additional coursework followed by a substantial year-long research project. Our interactive courses are designed to enhance your understanding of the social dimensions inherent in environmental problems.
Throughout your studies, you will work closely with our esteemed faculty to develop essential skills in information analysis, clear communication, and ethical research practices within communities. You will also join a dynamic community of scholars and students dedicated to achieving shared goals and fostering collective success.
