La Trobe's Bachelor of Outdoor and Sustainability Education takes you beyond the classroom. Get hands-on outdoor experience and build a deeper understanding of sustainability and environmental education.

Enjoy opportunities to build and enrich your outdoor adventuring skills while you explore nature. You could spend more than 70 days on field trips* and extended outdoor journeys while building a vital understanding of research on climate change and experiential learning. From bushwalking to kayaking, you'll prepare to lead groups while they explore outdoor environments and you develop your skill in outdoor learning.

You'll also be ready to help foster respect and appreciation for the world around you. Explore the social and scientific aspects of sustainability, including Indigenous understandings of our environment, and learn how to manage and teach outdoor education programs.

Whether you want to guide adventures or educate the community, we'll help you be ready for your future. You'll develop the skills and confidence to lead, teach and communicate in any situation.

You'll learn:

  • Natural environment knowledge and sustainability
                   Learn about Australia's diverse range of native flora and fauna and our complex relationship with it.
  • Educational skills
                   Explore how to successfully create and deliver educational experiences about sustainability and the natural environment.
  • Outdoor adventure guiding

  • Outdoor safety and risk management
                   Discover how to safely plan for leading groups of people in natural environments.
  • Leadership, teamwork, and communication
                   Learn by experience as you develop strong transferable skills that are applicable in any career.


*The number of field trip days is dependent on the major selected.

The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 7 - Bachelor Degree.
