Lisa studied the Science of Gardening unit available in the Undergraduate Certificate in Sustainable Living and it has changed the way she sees the environment around her.

"I love the way this unit has been structured, with modules, chapters, activities, videos, other readings and quizzes. It makes the unit easy to follow, to keep up and most importantly be engaged. I am constantly looking at my garden and other gardens in different ways!"

- Lisa G, Sustainable Living Student.

The Undergraduate Certificate in Sustainable Living will help you learn about sustainability on a local, national and international level, and align your studies with what sustainable living means for you. The multi-disciplinary nature of this course draws upon environment and ecology, resource use and design for living and well-being and health to promote sustainable living.

Throughout this course, you’ll learn practical knowledge about sustainability, and how to apply it to in your home, community, business or social enterprise.

The Undergraduate Certificate in Sustainable Living aims to give you a better understanding of your connection to sustainability as an individual, consumer, employee or citizen, and to enable you to make informed personal choices through being able to explain the key elements of sustainable living in contemporary society.

Please visit our Certificates page for answers to frequently asked questions about the Job Ready Certificates.
