Courses related to Sustainability and Study Options

The world needs people who have the capacity to understand and respond wisely to the challenges of creating socially and ecologically sustainable societies. We need people across all disciplines who are literate in sustainability principles, who can think critically and laterally, who can work cooperatively, who can think in terms of systems, relations, and connections, and who are prepared to participate and make a difference.

Provisional lists of undergraduate and postgraduate courses currently taught at the University of Canterbury with some relevance to sustainability issues, are available through the links above. In addition to these lists, other courses may use sustainability or environmental issues as themes or case studies.

Please check the individual department websites or the main UC courses and subjects list for further details on all courses and their prerequisites. For further information about any courses you find on this site please contact the relevant department/school.
