Environmental Sustainability

The Environmental Sustainability degree programme aims to develop your understanding of the environmental issues and sustainability goals facing society. We offer three degree options: MSc, Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate. You will be challenged to apply your scientific and technical knowledge to develop solutions to local and global problems and needs.

Applicants must hold a minimum of a 2.2 honours level degree in a science, engineering or related discipline. Applicants with pass degrees and who also have substantial relevant work experience may also be considered. If English is not your native language, proof of your proficiency in English will be required, unless you have taken your primary degree through English, in an English speaking country. The minimum acceptable score on the TOEFL Internet Based Test is 100, on the IELTS system it is 6.5. The original certificate of completion of an English language test must be enclosed with the application. In all cases the test results must not be more than 2 years old.
