Postgraduate Coursework programs
The School offers access to undergraduate Development Studies subjects via the Graduate Certificate in Arts (Development Studies), the Graduate Diploma in Arts (Development Studies) and the Postgraduate Certificate in Arts (Development Studies). These programs aim to provide a general understanding of key concepts and issues in Development Studies and also provide the opportunity to undertake an Internship Project.
Development Studies can be combined with Anthropology via the Graduate Certificate in Arts (Anthropology and Development) and the Graduate Diploma in Arts (Anthropology and Development).
One or two Development Studies subjects can also be taken via the University's Community Access Program (CAP).
Graduates from other institutions who have majored in Development Studies or a cognate discipline are eligible to apply for the Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Development Studies) which is equivalent to the Honours program and provides a pathway to higher degree research for students who have not completed a four year BA (Honours) with a research component in Development Studies.
The Master of Development Studies by Coursework and Minor Thesis is available to Honours or Postgraduate Diploma in Development Studies' graduates as a one-year coursework only program. The Master of Development Studies is also available as a two year (200 credit point) or a one and a half year (150 credit point) program.
The Faculty of Arts administers entrance to the coursework programs. For more information, please visit the Faculty of Arts Future Students website.
