Leading-edge solutions for global challenges

Global Development looks at how nations and people change over time from political, geographical, cultural, and socio-economic perspectives. People in the development sector, like those at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the United Nations, and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) such as Oxfam or ActionAid, work with local communities to address real-world issues like poverty, social and gender inequalities, and climate change as well as providing humanitarian aid, disaster relief, or advocacy.

Study opportunities with real-world impact

Because development deals with complex problems that don't have easy solutions at ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø School of Social Sciences we adopt a unique interdisciplinary approach to investigating and providing solutions for these dynamic issues through global-development in practice courses.

We also offer internship courses tailored to Global Development students, enabling you to have internship opportunities with development organisations and build up your work experience while completing your degree at the same time.

Learn from academics at the grassroots

Our team of academics are at the front line of development practice, from local community development to international organisations. We bring real-world experience and expertise to your educational progression.

In addition to the extensive advocacy work undertaken by the Centre for Refugee Research, members of our staff work with community-based organisations, NGOs, think tanks and a range of civil society-based organisations. We also support a range of civil society bodies, including the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and CARE Australia.
