Outdoor and Environmental Education
La Trobe University’s Faculty of Education - Outdoor and Environmental Education offers Australia’s most diverse collection of outdoor professional courses.
Our outdoor courses provide a range of exciting opportunities for motivated students who seek careers working in the outdoors. Our courses allow students considerable flexibility to selection specialisations that best fit their skills, aptitude, interest and employment goals.
Practical experience is often held in locations such as the Australian Alps, the Murray River, Port-Phillip Bay, South-West Tasmanian wilderness, or the Whitsunday Islands.
A strong emphasis is placed on environmental knowledge and practical experience. Students can focus on outdoor skills such as rock-climbing, canoeing and cross-country skiing or specialise in natural history or education for sustainability.
Common career pathways include teaching, nature based guiding, rangers, education officers and environmental education.
For commencing Outdoor & Environmental Education students there is a special orientation program. For further details about this program please contact the School of Outdoor and Environmental Education.
