The Master of Environment is a flexible interdisciplinary coursework and research degree which allows students to develop a program of advanced learning suited to their individual interests and skills in environment and sustainability. The program comprises fours courses in a suite of core topic areas, and four courses focused on an individual specialisation of the student's choice. ME graduates can expect to:

• gain both a broad knowledge base about contemporary issues and challenges in environment and sustainability science, and a high level of knowledge of a specific topic reflecting their interests,
• develop their independent learning, analytical and research, teamwork, and oral and written communication skills;
• have better developed networks relevant to their academic and professional interests;
• consequently, be better placed to respond to the challenges of environment and sustainability through their chosen careers.

The Master of Environment program allows students to take courses from across the ANU, to draw from the ANU's breadth and strength in the environment and sustainability domains; specialisations (a sample of which are listed below) reflect this breadth. The flexibility of course requirements for both the core and specialisation component of the degree allows programs to be structured to meet individual interests. Specialisations also develop students' analytical and communication skills through independent research for a major essay or sub-thesis. Given the flexibility of the degree, each student is required to discuss their proposed program with by a Fenner School Graduate Advisor, who will help develop and must approve it.

 

Please note that all applicants for the Master of Environment need to include two professional referee reports with their application.
