Our Sustainable Development discipline comprises a vibrant team of multidisciplinary researchers and teachers with backgrounds in political ecology, geography, anthropology, and development studies, many of whom have years of practitioner experience.

Our courses are continuing to grow, with over 500 students currently enrolled. Half of our students are international students, bringing global perspectives and influence on some of the great challenges of our time. Our alumni have become change agents all over the world.

The Development Studies programs are located within the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, which explores complex issues that arise from our past, shape our present, and determine our future. The School offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in a broad range of disciplines, including politics, international relations, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature, theatre, community development, sustainable development, and tourism.
