The 'Environmental Management' plan (specialisation) of the Master of Management Program is to discontinued. Current enrolled students may complete the plan but no new applications for admission will be accepted from 2006 onward.

The Master of Management specialising in Environmental Management is a full/part-time Program designed for professionals and managers who are responsible for managing their organisation’s impact on the environment and who require a thorough understanding of the interrelationships between business and the environment in both the public and private sectors. 

The Program aims to provide professionals and managers with the understanding and skills that are required to lead and manage organisations in periods of significant change driven by privatisation, regulatory reform and other environmental developments. 

The Program integrates courses from the National Graduate School of Management (NGSM), through accredited core courses of the existing Master of Management Program, with courses from the Master of Environmental Management and Development Program in the Asia Pacific School of Economics and Government (APSEG).  The NGSM courses focus on fundamental concepts and principles of business and strategic management.  The APSEG courses provide specialist knowledge in methods for environmental decision making, governance and policy.  All course offerings are designed in a way that meets existing standards of Master degree programs as offered elsewhere in the University.

The Program provides an educational environment in which participants from Australia and the Asia Pacific region can explore cross-cultural perspectives on business management and policy reform in this sector.
