The Diploma in Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary program offering students the opportunity to obtain both an understanding of the physical principles governing the environment and the social and cultural aspects that influence human behaviour towards the environment, interaction with and impact on the environment. Students will gain a holistic knowledge of the environment through courses from the sciences, social sciences and humanities. The interdisciplinary model will equip students with the critical and analytical skills to think through the many complex factors that influence our understanding of the environment. The diploma has two options, one in interdisciplinary environmental arts and one in environmental management. All courses have university transfer credit providing students with the option of further study in either environmental studies or other disciplines. Students can also move directly into the workplace for there is a growing demand for labour in the environmental sector.
