Education

The ANUWI is currently working on developing a major in water in the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (Sustainability (BIS) (S)) and the Bachelor of Science (BSc).

The major will be designed so that students will be offered courses which expose them to water science and engineering along with policy, management and socio-cultural facets of water. The major will reflect the ANUWI’s commitment to an integrative approach to water resource management as espoused in the Strategic Plan.

It is hoped that the water major will be offered by the ANU in 2007.
