This articulated program offers specialist qualifications for people seeking or consolidating careers in international development and an opportunity for development practitioners to explore major issues of development in greater breadth and depth.
The Graduate Certificate introduces students to contemporary theory and practice in international development, drawing on theories and material from geography, sociology and political sciences.
The Graduate Diploma combines core topics on the theories and policy approaches to international development with the chance to pursue in greater depth interests in areas such as development policy, gender and development, or Asian development.
The Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma are available on-line for external study.
The Masters program examines theories of development, from modernisation to post-colonial and grassroots approaches, and explores a range of development policy areas. The mix of coursework and research can be tailored to personal needs and interests.
The program is international in scope, with generic topics offering case study material drawn from Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. A selection of specialised topics is available on specific countries and regions.
The full program of study is set out in the Course rule and topic descriptions for the relevant degree(s).
