The Resources and Environmental Planning (REP) programme at Waikato University is an interdisciplinary program that involves papers from Geography, Earth Science, Biology and Economics or Political Science & Public Policy.
The interdisciplinary nature of the program aims to deepen your knowledge about the natural world (the natural science subjects) and human use of the natural environment (the social science subjects). You will learn the latest thinking about sustainable development and an ethic of care for our environment.

It is particularly strong in rural and resource-based planning.
