About Us

Sustainability is one of Murdoch's core strategic objectives, and amongst our highest regarded areas of teaching and research.

We were among the first universities in the world to offer sustainability courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and we have graduated over 100 PhD students.


Today, Murdoch offers a comprehensive suite of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Sustainable Development, International Aid & Development, and Community Development.

Murdoch also offers a Master of Development Studies that trains future development practitioners and policymakers in understanding:

- the structural conditions that reproduce inequality, poverty, and vulnerability; and
- the analyses of social and cultural phenomena required to build capacity in gender and women's empowerment, livelihoods and climate adaptation, monitoring and evaluation, and participatory methods.


These courses are taught by a vibrant team of multidisciplinary researchers and teachers with backgrounds in geography, anthropology, and development studies, many of whom have years of practitioner experience.


Our courses are continuing to grow and include significant numbers of international students, who bring global perspectives to some of the great challenges of our time.

Our alumni have become change agents all over the world.
