Student Profile - Helen King

Climate Change, 2008

"The teaching is excellent and the hard part is not having enough time to do all the courses I'd like to."

Having participated in climate change-related courses at the ANU, what have been some of the highlights?

Attending the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali in December 2007 as part of the ANU contingent.

Have the courses met your expectations so far?

Yes, the multidisciplinary nature of the Fenner School makes it easy to integrate science, policy and economics courses critical to sustainability questions.

If you were asked to recommend ANU climate change courses to a colleague, what would you say?

Do it - solving the big questions needs a multidisciplinary approach - policy, science, economics, people. The teaching is excellent and the hard part is not having enough time to do all the courses I'd like to.

What do you expect to gain from studying climate change courses at the ANU?

Change of career direction to gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction, flexibility and being better informed to contribute to the climate and sustainability debate.
