This course allows professionals from a range of backgrounds to gain formal qualifications in an area that directly or indirectly impacts upon their work or research. Students need no previous knowledge or academic training in gender studies, simply an interest in better understanding the key issues of gender and development, whether they be global or specific to a region.

This is a structured, multidisciplinary program combining conventional women's studies with politics, sociology and broader issues of development and the rights of people in society. It introduces students to the theoretical and empirical analysis of a wide range of issues and focuses on the development of flexible skills suited to a variety of situations and contexts.

The course opens up a range of opportunities in the areas of development studies, international relations and politics and also can be used as a pathway to further studies such as the Master of Arts (Women's Studies) or the Master of Arts (Development Studies).

The full program of study is set out in the Course rule and topic descriptions for this degree.
