Depending on the job specification, you may not need a degree to work in sustainability. It’s entirely possible to attain a role in sustainability through your prior work experience, and many professionals transition to sustainability from other sectors.

However, as many roles seek to draw in specialists – such as those educated in environmental science, engineering, business, and economics – having a bachelor’s degree will open up more opportunities for you. Moreover, a relevant Master’s degree may unlock opportunities for more lucrative career progression. 

It’s possible to apply for sustainability roles via an organization’s website or job board, but competition can be high.
