Is there a more pressing question today than how we can live more collaboratively and restoratively with our planet? If you’re looking for a degree to prepare you to make a positive difference and help to address global social, environmental and indigenous issues, this is it.

NOTE: This programme will be closed to new enrolments from 2023 onwards but watch this space for information on similar study options in 2024.

Our world faces many challenges. To analyse and design solutions for them requires skilled critical thinkers with the appropriate knowledge, alongside multi-disciplinary expertise and determination.

This degree focuses on the global issues that really matter. Flexibility is built into the programme, with the option to include an additional major in areas like water management, parks, outdoor recreation, commerce, tourism and marketing.

How you’ll grow

  • Gain the critical skills and analytical abilities to understand and confront environmental issues. 
  • Expand your appreciation of diverse historical, sociological, geographical, philosophical and psychological perspectives. 
  • Cultivate the wide-ranging critical thinking skills that are in high demand with employers everywhere. 
  • Nurture your abilities to create, promote and extend positive societal change.

Career opportunities

Your expertise will be highly sought-after in social and environmental planning, policy development and analysis, water management, land-use and resource planning, indigenous engagement and more.

Lincoln’s Bachelor of Environment and Society helped me develop my interests in ecology and psychology into something I can put to use to making a practical difference. This degree is ideal for anyone with multiple interests and a passion for making the world a better place.
