Bachelor of Environment in Resource and Environmental Management

Program Overview

A Bachelor of Environment in Resource and Environmental Management (REM) is an interdisciplinary degree that combines perspectives from both the natural and social sciences to help you better understand today’s environmental challenges and enable you to contribute to meaningful solutions for a better future. In addition to gaining an understanding of how the natural environment works, you will explore the societal structures and processes that influence how we interact with the environment and the policy approaches and tools we have to promote change.


Examples of questions we discuss in REM are:

  • Is the carbon tax an effective way to decarbonize our economy?
  • Will we have enough electricity if we all drive electric vehicles?
  • How can we balance conservation and preservation with the needs of local communities for jobs and economic development opportunities?
  • How can we make communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change?
  • How can we help industries like forestry, agriculture and fisheries become more sustainable?


You will learn about socio-cultural and Indigenous perspectives, earth processes, environmental impact assessments, analytics in decision-making, conflict resolution and policy, and planning and regulation — and how this knowledge can be used to guide sustainable environmental management. You will also look at specific natural resource industries like energy, forestry, or fisheries.
