Undergraduate
Bachelor of Climate, Society and Economy
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Bachelor of Climate, Society and Economy is a genuinely interdisciplinary degree examining how climate change intersects with social systems and economic decision-making, built for students who want to work on climate response from a policy, social science or economics angle rather than the physical or environmental science side of climate change alone. The degree reflects growing recognition that solving climate challenges requires people who understand economic incentives, social behaviour and policy design as much as climate science itself, positioning graduates for roles that sit between technical climate expertise and the human systems that determine whether climate solutions actually get adopted. It suits students interested in climate policy, sustainable economics, corporate sustainability strategy or social research on climate impacts, rather than students seeking a physical or environmental science degree. Entry requires an ATAR of around 72.65, with English at Units 3-4 as the main subject prerequisite, and Monash's usual VET, prior study and alternative-entry pathways also apply.
