Bachelors of Engineering (Honours)/Design - Environment and Society

The University of Queensland

Develop a deeper understanding of the interconnections between people and the environment. You will also explore how human-led processes and design outcomes shape our ability to respond to pressing environmental problems, including climate change, bushfires, food insecurity, waste and biodiversity loss. Drawing from many disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, planning, philosophy and economics, this major covers global issues including social and environmental injustice, environmental racism and violence, the politics of conflict, and activism and social change. With broad applications across many career paths, including the diverse field of design, you’ll be prepared to address the environmental challenges of the future. This major will be particularly relevant to those wishing to work to address environmental and social challenges through government policy making, environmental communication and advocacy, and international development.
