The Master of Environmental Management complements existing science qualifications if you are a graduate starting out or an established professional looking to broaden or deepen your professional skill set. You will focus on the principles and practices of environmental management, particularly in the context of wet-dry and semi-arid tropical ecosystems and arid landscapes. The topic areas covered by CDU's Master of Environmental Management include livelihoods, spatial science and analysis, and ecology and management of natural resources. Unit selection is flexible between and within these areas. Professional placements and remote Australia and international intensives are also available. The broad skills, concepts and applications explored in this course are also relevant even if you are working in other ecosystems, and includes a focus on the social context within which environmental management takes place. The course is flexible and caters to your individual needs. It balances required knowledge and technical skills, develops conceptual skills, and challenges you to apply them to natural resource management within its complex social context.

The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree is undertaken as a supervised program of original research. It is suited to those with some research training and experience, but who do not meet the eligibility criteria for direct entry into the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The depth of research required for a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is less than that required for a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). In some cases, it is possible to use the Master of Philosophy as a pathway to upgrade to a Doctor of Philosophy. The Master of Philosophy is completed within a minimum period of 1 year full-time and a maximum period of 2 years full-time, or the part-time equivalent. Students with limited research training or experience are advised to undertake the Master of Research (MRes).
