Program Length: 2 YEARS.

The guiding aim of our programs in international development is to encourage thoughtful and reflexive practitioners, analysts and policymakers who understand the complexity of international development and who are able to effectively analyse and respond to challenges.
We believe that this understanding requires students to be well acquainted with the history of development thinking and practice as well as having up to date knowledge and skills relating to current best practice. Students have direct contact with senior and experienced practitioners from the development sector. A distinctive aspect of our degree programmes is the quality and experience of practitioners that teach into our subjects, including those who have worked with Oxfam, the Australian Red Cross, the World Health Organization, the United Nations and more.CAREER OUTCOMESGraduates are suited to roles in international development organisations, government and intergovernmental agencies, campaigning and advocacy organisations, media organisations,and research or training institutes. These include: AusAID (Australian Agency for International Development), the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Oxfam International, World Vision, Red Cross and the United Nations Development Programme.
