The course is designed to prepare students for a variety of careers where knowledge is required on the theoretical and policy issues in development. The course articulates with the 18 unit Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Development and the 72 unit Master of Sustainable Development, and the sequentially developed topics enable progression through the three awards. The course is also available as an exit award from the 72 unit Master of Sustainable Development, subject to meeting the requirements in the Program of Study below.
