Bachelor of International Development

Why is there global inequality? Why are some countries poor, or struggling with conflict, while others forge ahead?

Our Bachelor of International Development equips you to tackle these and other big questions surrounding the world's greatest political, economic, cultural and ecological challenges.

We'll support you in developing the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to make a real and positive difference in the lives of others. You will:

• examine how government, business, non-governmental organisations and individuals influence development
• learn how development groups function and make money
• explore the major contributing factors leading to issues such as extreme poverty, poor health, fragile governance, inequality and environmental vulnerability
• analyse possible solutions to issues in the developing world
• practise a range of skills required in the field

You can get in-country experience by studying abroad. The University partners with the Australian Consortium for 'In-Country' Indonesian Studies which offers a Development Studies Professional Practicum. As part of the Bachelor of International Development, we offer a yearly Vietnam Study Tour, and study tours related to international development in Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America.

You will also have the opportunity to apply for the Tetra Tech Coffey International Development scholarship and internship - a development organisation based in Adelaide.
