The Master of Environmental Advocacy degree is aimed at staff and volunteers of environmental organisations, businesses and international non-government organisations (NGOs), as well as conservationists, teachers, Land Care officers, citizens concerned about environmental issues, sustainability officers and environmental education officers working for local, state and federal governments.

Governments, councils and business are increasingly employing environmental officers and consultants, and initiating environmental programmes e.g. the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, and NSW's Sustainability Programs Division. Therefore, there is a growing demand for persons qualified to work as environmental advocates.

Environmental NGOs are playing an ever greater role in global, regional and local affairs. They too benefit from a pool of qualified advocates, particularly those who display ability to see 'the big picture', and who can employ creativity and leadership.

The degree will offer a unique blend of environmental security, ethics and philosophy, peace studies and politics as well as a selection of subjects from geography, history, archaeology, economics, health, education and other relevant areas.
