A graduate programme of coursework and research in Development Studies for graduates with an Honours degree or equivalent practical experience. Coursework focuses on the interpretation of development problems from an intedisciplinary perspective.
The programme is designed to provide those with field experience in critical forum in which to evaluate their experience and upgrade their qualifications.
Victoria's Development Studies programme is the first major of its kind in New Zealand. It's an umbrella under which you can study almost any aspect of the development of human societies, and their relationship to the Earth we live on. This multidisciplinary field is concerned with studying inequality between people and nations, and the ethical issues that poverty and inequality create. Because Development Studies investigates the world and the people who live here, it encourages you to be confident and tolerant with cross-cultural issues, and to analyse and solve global problems.
