Social and Environmental Sustainability

UWA's Bachelor of Social and Environmental Sustainability is a Social Science and Humanities focused, interdisciplinary degree oriented towards professional practice. Through undertaking coursework that draws on the disciplines of Anthropology, Environmental Economics, Environmental History, Geography, Indigenous Studies, International Relations, Political Science and Public Policy students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the complex challenges of working with organisations, communities and governments in seeking to address and solve social and environmental challenges. The course also provides students with the opportunity to gain introductory knowledge into the processes that shape the natural environment, with the course design enabling students to select from units in earth and environmental sciences as part of their core program.

The Bachelor of Arts features diverse majors from music and design to law, humanities and social sciences. This degree provides students with the lifelong, transferable skills that employers are seeking, giving an immediate competitive edge in the employment market.

Combining the BSES and the BA provides the opportunity for high achieving students with specific interests and strengths in the Humanities and Social Sciences to achieve both a BSES and a BA within a four year study period.
