natural resource management and social and economic development.

educational and professional, and with a wide range of interests.

Program Structure
This program consists of four courses of coursework. Students
must undertake two core courses - a compulsory course 'Theories
and Concepts of Sustainable Development', and one from
a choice of two of 'Models of Sustainable Development' or 'Thinking
Systemically and Sustainably'. Two courses are also to
be taken from any of the three streams (a choice, that is, of two courses
from a selection of 12). To provide a foundational basis, the two
core courses must be taken before, or concurrently with, others.
There is no residential school for any course.
