The BSEnS explores the biggest problems we face globally, from pollution and climate change to world hunger. You will gain meaningful skills including understanding how and why these issues happen, and the actionable steps we need to change these. Help us build a sustainable and equitable future in business, policy, and global society. Study Involve: Courses come from a variety of different subjects - including Environmental Science, Policy, and Marketing - so you can get a full view of the global issues that you are passionate about and learn how you can achieve behaviour change and social action. Use UC’s local and global contacts with entrepreneurs, environmental scientists, tangata whenua, and other change makers. You can take a minor from subjects across Arts, Commerce, Digital Screen, Health, Product Design, Science, Sport, and Youth and Community Leadership. Making a difference in our global sustainability will need the lived experiences of all cultures, building on the diversity of our world views and histories. Our efforts continue to recognise, engage with, and respect Indigenous and local knowledge as critical to effective problem-solving. This major is for those who want to learn how to engage respectfully and effectively with mana whenua and other Indigenous communities to advance the aspirations of local communities and the goals of sustainability and wellbeing for all.

Engage with local communities and iwi through field studies and an internship. Customisable major so you can follow your interests, such as in activism, policy, natural resource management, business, economics, and health.
