Sustainability

The diverse field of sustainability is constantly evolving, with new technologies and techniques being developed to tackle the challenges facing the planet. As climate change continues to have extreme environmental and social effects, sustainability professionals who are up-to-date with the latest innovations will be in high demand.

UNE offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in sustainability designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to contribute to a viable and equitable future for all. As a result of our lengthy history of preparing adults for constantly evolving workplaces, our sustainability courses focus on integrating social science with environmental science, to ensure you are future-fit to adapt to the expected changes and advancements in the field.
