The programme embraces principles of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi to facilitate application of such knowledge to specific discipline contexts whilst building the capability to recognise that interdisciplinary frameworks and research can help to address complex sustainability problems. The PG Certificate in Sustainable Practice is an ideal first step towards postgraduate study aimed at people with an interest in sustainable practice who wish to develop higher level understanding and specialist skills from their undergraduate degree.
