Certificate in Environmental Planning
Environmental Planning develops your knowledge of how human behaviour affects the environment. This one-year certificate will help you to understand how social, economic and cultural aspects, and the physical environment, contribute to problems and provide solutions.
A certificate is a short-term study option that can help pave your way to future success. It's equivalent to the first year of study of a bachelors degree, which makes it a great way to gain an introductory qualification in Environmental Planning.
Curious about how human behaviour affects the environment?
If you want to help shape and make a positive impact in the world we live in, a Certificate in Environmental Planning from Waikato is the perfect starting point for you.
You will be introduced to the interdisciplinary nature of environmental issues. Taught by leading industry experts who are at the forefront of the latest research and innovation, you'll take papers in the social and natural sciences and make direct connections between human behaviour, politics and the natural environment.
Learning isn't all in the classroom, either. You'll have the opportunity to attend field trips to explore first-hand the impact humans have on the local environment and you'll engage in practical group research projects and workshops.
