Structure
200 credit points
Students will be required to complete three core subjects. Students in the 200 point pathway must also take at least 12.5 points of subjects from the compulsory capstone subjects – these subjects enable students to complete an independent project related to professional practices in environmental education and change processes. Students in the 100 point pathway will not normally be required to complete this component. Students must also undertake electives to make up the balance of the award. The selection of electives is made in consultation with the Education and Social Change major coordinator. More information about this stream can be found here:
