Graduate Certificate in Development Practice - Future Students - The University of Queensland, Australia

Why study the Graduate Certificate in Development Practice

The Graduate Certificate in Development Practice addresses key topics in the world today: the political economy of development, gender, health, environment, climate change impact, and food security. The courses bring together aspects of community level development, urban and social planning, and political analysis from local to global levels.

The Graduate Certificate in Development Practice offers a unique, multidisciplinary approach to advancing the knowledge and skills of students who seek to obtain a better understanding of the challenges of development in the contemporary context.

Taught and supervised by scholars engaged in the field through research and practice, the program creates teaching approaches that are both inspiring and informative. Whilst equipping students with analytical and technical skills for development work, teaching staff are intent on providing a learning space for students to 'discover' their practice. This requires deeply reflective capabilities to understand personal qualities as practitioners within the context of contemporary development practice.
