This flexible course allows you to tailor your degree to suit your career aspirations by providing a choice of options towards the latter part of your studies – advanced research, elective study, or a combination of elective study and industry practice.

Whatever you choose, you will be equipped for a rewarding career effecting positive change.
Ready to take action for a brighter future?
Issues of sustainability are complex and skilled professionals capable of developing appropriate cost-effective and targeted solutions to these challenges are crucial for our future. That’s why a key focus of the Master of Sustainability (Professional) is developing an in-depth understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals, which every member country of the United Nations is committed to achieving by 2030.
The flexible structure of the course provides you with the opportunity to build the degree for the career you want. You will first acquire a solid foundation in sustainability before broadening your studies through the pursuit of a specialisation that interests you most. Towards the latter part of your studies, you can choose to either undertake a focused research project, industry practice, or broaden your skills with elective units in areas such as climate change adaptation and mitigation, regional development, environmental management, risk assessment and control, health promotion, community consultation and more.
Connections to industry are an integral part of this course. These connections ensure you have the opportunity to gain an industry perspective and establish professional networks prior to graduation. Guest lectures from key industry partners are embedded into the course to provide you with an understanding of sustainability issues in a real-world context.
