Overview

Throughout the Sustainability and Climate Change - International Security course from Adelaide University you’ll examine two of today’s most pressing issues – climate change and international security.

You'll tackle big questions. What conflicts could arise over scarce resources like water? How can we address the threat of religious extremism? What are the driving forces behind national security risks like cybercrime?

Immerse yourself in thought-provoking topics. Analyse global negotiations, crisis decision-making, terrorism, ethics, security and justice from a worldwide perspective. Become a green-collar worker. Join the movement towards creating a safer and more sustainable planet.

Career opportunities:

With climate change and global warming increasing over the past 20 years, the world needs leaders who can drive positive change. And with the ongoing threats of cybersecurity and terrorism, leaders need to understand the wide-reaching instability affecting organisations today.

Our Bachelor of Sustainability and Climate Change majoring in International Security empowers graduates to build satisfying careers in the sustainability and security sectors.

You could work in career roles such as:

Environmental analyst
Community development officer
Climate policy adviser
Policy officer
Environmental protection and compliance officer
International relations specialist
Foreign affairs analyst.

Take the lead as a ‘green-collar’ professional – informing government policy, implementing organisational compliance measures, analysing national security risks or supporting global climate strategies. Or, follow a different path and work for a research institution. Analyse global security and climate change issues – and the risks of inaction.
