What is this course about?

CSU's Master of Natural Resource Management provides a thorough understanding of related ecological issues and the workings of the public sector in natural resource management.

The management of natural resources managed by the public sector, in particular protected areas and national parks, is of great national interest and an area which creates significant debate between public and private interests. To manage these areas and contribute to solutions to the issues requires an understanding of the ecological issues and workings of public sector natural resource management. Unique to these courses is a focus on the role cultural resources because these play a significant role in the eventual outcome of how natural resources can be managed.

Exit points from the Master program are provided at the Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma levels. This structure provides considerable flexibility allowing students to quickly gain natural resource management knowledge and qualification they need today, and to add to their credentials at a later date if necessary.

These courses provide the knowledge required for upper level management of these issues and are particularly suited to those who wish to equip themselves with the ability to undertake senior roles in the public and private sector of natural resource management.

There may be a practical component associated with this course, depending on subjects selected.
