three course sustainability module
BA, BSc and BScAdSc students can also take the three-course sustainability module.

You will be able to take your awareness into many different employment settings to make a contribution to these solutions and help drive positive change. If you want to work for an organisation that cares about the future of our planet, this module will be an asset.
