A Master of Environmental Policy and Management at The University of Adelaide provides you with an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of environmental policy, planning and governance.
Effective response to environmental problems involves research, negotiation and implementation by governments through diverse private sector agents and a differentiated civil society.
In this degree you will learn about climate change, biodiversity, population growth and resource scarcity, explore approaches to conservation and sustainability and research how humans affect natural environments.
