What will I learn?

The BSEnS explores the biggest problems we face globally, from pollution and climate change to world hunger. You will gain meaningful skills including understanding how and why these issues happen, and the actionable steps we need to change these. Help us build a sustainable and equitable future in business, policy, and global society. Study Involve: Courses come from a variety of different subjects - including Environmental Science, Policy, and Marketing - so you can get a full view of the global issues that you are passionate about and learn how you can achieve behaviour change and social action. Use UC’s local and global contacts with entrepreneurs, environmental scientists, tangata whenua, and other change makers. You can take a minor from subjects across Arts, Commerce, Digital Screen, Health, Product Design, Science, Sport, and Youth and Community Leadership. Help solve some of the major issues we are facing globally with studies on environmental, social, and political change. Learn how to create campaigns that deal with problems caused by the ways we interact with the environment, from the hunger crisis to global poverty, renewable energy to pollution, city development to climate change. Study Involve: Develop real social movements and awareness projects through an internship. Study a wide range of optional courses from sociology and psychology, politics, international relations, media, geography, environmental studies, and community development. Customisable major so you can follow your interests on global or local social issues, communities, and environmental problems.
