Master of Sustainable Built Environment
The sustainability challenge of the 21st century has moved on from awareness and information. It is now about implementation: how to make it happen. The Master of Sustainable Built Environment is structured to meet this challenge. It will prepare you to become a specialised champion for change, taking a global and practical view that is driven by critical thinking. In this degree you will consider different value systems in cultures which influence how communities shape their built environments, and explore challenges in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. With the choice of a capstone research project and/or Integrated Design Studio,, this comprehensive degree focuses on providing you with evidence-based tools to support all endeavours in the sustainable built environment, from room to region.
