The degree is jointly offered by the Crawford School of Economics and Government and the Fenner School of Environment and Society. The program comprises a minimum of three compulsory courses in core topic areas covering climate impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, climate change economics and policy, and methodological approaches; elective courses can be selected from a wide range of topics to meet individual student needs and interests. Master of Climate Change graduates can expect to: gain both a high level of knowledge in particular aspects of climate change, and a broad knowledge of the current issues in and approaches to climate change vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation; develop their independent learning, analytical and research, teamwork, and oral and written communication skills; develop networks relevant to their academic and professional interests; and be better placed to respond to the challenges of climate change through their chosen careers. The Master of Climate Change program allows students to take courses from across the ANU, to draw from the University's breadth and strength in the science, economics, law, policy and governance aspects of climate change vulnerability, adaptation and mitigation. The flexibility of course requirements allows programs to be tailored to meet individual interests. Students must discuss their proposed program with a Fenner School or Crawford School Convener, who will assist in developing the tailored program and must approve it.For a detailed description of the degree seehttp://studyat.anu.edu.au/programs/7824XMCLCH;overview.htmlAssociate Professor Luca Tacconi Director, Environmental Management and Development Program Crawford School of Economics and Government ANU College of Asia and the Pacific J.G.
