Master [Environmental Studies] From Victoria University of Wellington

The programme is enriched by contributions from lecturers outside the School. These enthusiastic and experienced professionals have a collective background in environmental planning, management, economics, policy, law, politics, ethics, indigenous development and non-government organisations.

Deepen your understanding of the environmental issues facing New Zealand and the world. Examine subjects like climate change, the sustainability of our cities, loss of biodiversity, water quality and consumerism.

Learn how environmental problems can be addressed through better policy, planning, design and communication. Discover how human behaviour can be influenced by these things and the role that politics plays in environmental concerns. You'll graduate with a good understanding of how you can create change.

Our capital city location facilitates work with government departments such as the Ministry for the Environment, as well as international agencies, industries, regional and local government, Iwi and environmental organisations. The School has particularly strong links to environmental policy agencies based in Wellington and the Environmental Studies programme maintains close links with the New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute.
