From climate change and deforestation to soil erosion and species losses, the world seems plagued by a catalogue of disasters that no-one can stop. The good news is more and more people are on the case.


A Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Environmental Management at Otago is an interdisciplinary degree that combines perspectives from the physical and social sciences to understand not just environmental problems, but also their solutions.


A major in Environmental Management has two pathways through the BSc or the BA, providing you with the flexibility to pursue your interest with a focus on the science of environmental processes (BSc) or on social processes that shape how we interact with the environment (BA), while having a solid foundation in both. Both options will explore the existing policy approaches and tools available to promote environmental change and consider where we need innovative new solutions.


You will develop skills that contribute to investigating problems, developing solutions, and working in multidisciplinary teams to get things done as part of your degree.


In Otago’s Environmental Management programme, you will learn about socio-cultural and Indigenous perspectives, earth system processes, environmental impacts, decision-making and conflict resolution processes, policy, planning and regulation – and how this knowledge can lead to sustainable environmental management.
