Description of programme
Environmental Management is a set of policy, regulatory, advocacy and market-based mechanisms which transform human behaviour to achieve society's goals for the environment. It is offered at a postgraduate level to enable students with strong disciplinary skills to gain the tools required to become environmental stewards, policy makers and managers. Consequently, our programmes emphasise the application of your existing skills to environmental problem solving.
Course work includes consideration of applied ecology, systems approaches, sustainable development, social and cultural drivers,economics, policy, governance, and environmental education. In addition, you may take courses from a range of associated disciplines including environmental science,geography, planning, law, biology, politics,community health and development studies.
Changing courses
Choose carefully at the beginning.
It is however, possible to add and delete courses within the first two weeks of each semester, without penalty (ie tuition fees are refunded for deletions). After this time, you may not enrol in new courses for that semester, and if you are unable to continue a course a “withdrawal” appears on your academic record. Withdrawing from courses can be achieved in consultation with the Postgraduate Dean and through the Science Student Centre until the third week before the end of lectures, but this will have implications for your degree. For instance, points for withdrawn courses will contribute to the total points value of your programme and there is a maximum number of 160 points which can be taken for the Postgraduate Diploma in Science (Environmental Management). In addition, tuition fees are not refundable. The regulations for changing courses are outlined in the latest version of The University of Auckland Calendar. Enrolment instructions received by students will indicate how to go about adding and deleting courses once semesters have begun.
