Education for sustainable development

StudentsLa Trobe University is committed to ensuring that all graduates are equipped to understand the challenge of sustainability in ways appropriate to their chosen degree or profession.

We aim to:

  • Ensure a range of subjects relating to sustainability are developed and taught at the undergraduate and post-graduate level, and that these are available across traditional faculty and discipline boundaries.
  • Develop, where appropriate, undergraduate courses with a sustainability major.  For example, from 2013 we plan to offer a sustainability major to undergraduate students in the humanities and social sciences faculty.
  • Develop a number of additional coursework master programs with a specific sustainability focus.
  • Continue the process whereby  sustainability considerations are embedded in existing courses.
