Education Activities

ANU offers a wide range of courses covering a broad spectrum of climate-related topics – Earth System science, climate law, international climate policy, climate and fire, and many others. Integrative degree structures such as the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (Sustainability) provide innovative ways to create climate change-related degrees.

The Master of Climate Change degree offers students unique breadth and diversity in addressing the many dimensions of climate change through access to world-leading experts in climate science and policy.  The Green Information Communications Technology Strategies (Green ICT) course teaches students how they can help reduce carbon emissions when using computers and telecommunications equipment.

Planning is now underway for a new Master of Energy Systems.   Course subjects will include the physical sciences, engineering and economics.  It is anticipated the Master of Energy Systems will be available for student enrolments in 2010.

The Climate Change Institute facilitates other creative approaches to education on climate change – for example, the participation of ANU students as observers at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the parties in Bali (2007) and Copenhagen (2009).
