Bachelor of Environment and Society - Design for Social Innovation

Victoria University of Wellington

The world faces urgent environmental challenges. Tackling them calls for collaboration across multiple perspectives. The Bachelor of Environment and Society prepares you to understand and address environmental issues from a range of viewpoints. At the same time, it deepens your expertise in a specialist subject. This three-year degree builds your understanding of both the social and the biophysical dimensions of environmental change. You’ll learn to think critically about the causes and effects of environmental problems, based on a firm grasp of the physical processes shaping our world.

Through the BEnvSoc, you’ll explore key concepts like sustainability and justice. You’ll ask how Indigenous environmental knowledge can guide our approach to environmental problems. And you’ll apply your knowledge across a range of scales-from local issues in environmental management to global issues of climate change and inequality. With this degree, you’ll gain the skills to make a meaningful difference and turn your passion into action.
