Program Summary
Environmental management as a course focuses on the study and application of practices aimed at protecting and improving the natural environment while supporting sustainable development. It involves understanding the interrelationships between human activities and the environment, and applying strategies to mitigate negative impacts. The course integrates knowledge from environmental science, policy, economics, and resource management to address issues such as pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, waste management, and resource depletion. Students are introduced to tools and techniques like environmental impact assessments, sustainability planning, environmental auditing, and geographic information systems (GIS). The course also explores legal and institutional frameworks for environmental governance at local, national, and international levels. Through both theoretical learning and practical case studies, students develop skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making, preparing them for careers in environmental consultancy, policy development, conservation, and corporate sustainability.
