Environment and Management

Overview

You’re passionate about, and deeply involved in, practical environmental issues. Perhaps your interest ignited through an undergraduate degree in science, or environmental science. Or maybe you’ve already been working in the environmental field for a few years.

Now, you want to take your energy and commitment to the next level, building on your drive to make a difference — in your community, in your professional practice and through your work — to create a more sustainable world for all.

The Environment and Management programme from Royal Roads University combines leading-edge research with on-the-ground practice and theory. You’ll enhance your existing skills, while increasing your knowledge about how to solve our world's complex environmental challenges.

You’ll examine many topics related to sustainability, from climate pollution and biodiversity loss, to reconciliation and social and community innovations. You’ll also focus on sustainability, accelerating the take-up of social and community innovations and the nature of change. You’ll learn about strategic decision making and teamwork. And you’ll learn how to address technical and policy questions using systems and sustainability perspectives.

By studying the inter-relationships between human, social and ecological systems, and learning about critical management concepts, you'll be ready to lead sustainability initiatives in multiple sectors, from government to industry and more.

Program outcomes

Once you have completed this program, you'll have a solid understanding of policy, practice and communication, as well as skills for working with stakeholders and communities to address global and local environmental and sustainability challenges. You'll be prepared to work in government, private and public sectors as well as non-governmental organizations.
