About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The aim of the Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainable Practice is to enable students to develop and apply advanced understandings of theories, driving forces, and worldviews, including Te Ao Maori, related to sustainable practice within the context of their discipline specific knowledge. The programme embraces principles of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi to facilitate collaboration and innovation and applies an interdisciplinary framework to address complex sustainability problems. Graduates will be able to engage in rigorous intellectual analysis, criticism and problem-solving, utilise research, and advocate for, and contribute to, more sustainable practices in a range of contexts. The PG Diploma in Sustainable Practice is aimed at people looking for more in-depth, longer duration professional development and advanced study to enable them to become agents for change related to sustainable practice.
