Master of Applied Science in Environmental Management

Lincoln University's Master of Applied Science is geared towards careers in research, teaching, local and central government, and consultancy. The University's focus on applied teaching and research provides the opportunity to undertake programmes of study that connect topics and applications in a wide range of areas - agriculture, industry, communications, transport, recreation and tourism and now, increasingly and essentially, in the management and conservation of our biosphere and it's resources, including international rural development issues.

DESCRIPTION:
The Environmental Management specialisation in Lincoln University's Master of Applied Science looks at the fundamental questions: How do we live? How should we live? How could we live? Each one of these questions cuts to the heart of what environmental management is about. They illustrate the complexity of issues that are often described simply as ‘environmental’ when they are also entangled in socio-cultural, political and economic contexts and practices at a range of scales. This degree has been designed to equip graduates with the advanced knowledge, research, critical analysis, evaluation, problem-solving and communication skills that are needed to address these inherently complex, challenging and contested issues. Career opportunities include working with national government ministries and agencies, local government, regional councils, environmental and business consultancy firms, industry organisations, non-government organisations, and advocacy groups.
