Bachelor of Climate Change in Environmental Planning

The University of Waikato

The Bachelor of Climate Change degree allows students to become an expert in one of a wide range of different major subjects that are needed to develop effective climate change solutions. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of climate change through the compulsory papers of the degree, including its scientific, social, cultural and economic dimensions. Mātauranga Māori is interwoven through the degree and students are taught the importance of valuing different worldviews when trying to develop authentic solutions to the challenges of climate change. Many of our urban and environmental challenges have strong planning dimensions and require interdisciplinary solutions. Our qualifications recognise this and enable students to develop flexible and interdisciplinary programmes of study. You'll be taught by leading academics and industry experts who are at the forefront of the latest research and innovation in climate change adaptation, spatial development, coastal management, urban spatial analysis, Māori resource management, cultural landscapes and biodiversity conservation. Our Programme has a strong vocational focus and is committed to producing work-ready graduates in line with professional standards. With close connections to the wider Waikato region and abroad, our degrees provide core planning knowledge and skills to help you shape your future career.
