Bachelor of Community Development

The Bachelor of Community Development is designed to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills to help build participatory and inclusive communities, both in Australia and internationally. The course is made up of core units in community development and a specialisation in either International, or community development for an Australian context. In the core units students learn the theory of community development and the practical skills needed to equip them as community development workers. They also undertake an extensive placement program. This course would appeal to those who would like to work in diverse careers and wish to make sense of the current social, political, economic and international workings, and their influence on concerns such as social justice, human rights, the environment and livelihoods. This course prepares students for lifelong learning and to work effectively in the face of the many challenges that the world faces today.
