Graduate studies

Graduate studies are an opportunity to contribute real-world solutions to our most pressing issues, through advanced research, innovation and key leadership roles in both science and industry.

Geography, Urban and Environmental Studies (MSc)

Human activity has caused unprecedented levels of environmental change in recent decades. The master's program in Geography, Urban and Environmental Studies (MSc) will allow students to examine the complex nature of interactions between humans and the built, social and natural environments; and to look at how to develop more sustainable livelihoods and settlements.

Geography, Urban and Environmental Studies (PhD)

The PhD program in Geography, Urban and Environmental studies provides students with the theory and tools to better understand how human activity has impacted the environment. Students are given the opportunity to pursue in-depth research in three broad areas of interest: the natural or bio-physical environment; the human, cultural or behavioural environment; and the urban, built or designed environment.

Note: Students who have excelled in their MSc coursework and research may transfer credits to proceed directly to doctoral studies.

Master of Environmental Assessment (MEnv)

In the Master of Environmental Assessment (MEnv) program, you'll benefit from a four-month professional internship to gain hands-on experience in the field. Internships open doors for future employment and graduates of the MEnv program work in all levels of government, Indigenous-led organizations, Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private corporations.

Diploma of Environmental Assessment (GrDip)

The graduate diploma program in Environmental Assessment will boost your environmental impact assessment training and skills in a year of courses aligned with your professional needs.
