The Master of Development Practice provides interdisciplinary training in: the politics and histories of development; gendered dimensions of development; sustainability and climate change; Indigenous studies; as well as research techniques. Our unique perspective on Queensland specific issues, alongside those of our Pacific Island neighbours, is contextualised in national and international development settings. Equipped with new skills across community development, urban and regional planning, global political analysis and impact assessment, graduates establish diverse development-related careers across the public, private and community sector. Designed and taught by nationally and internationally recognised scholars and practitioners, and offering inspiring and informative teaching approaches, this program is suitable for recent graduates and professional alike. Whilst equipping students with analytical and technical skills for a career in development, teaching staff also provide a supportive learning environment for students to engage in reflective practice to navigate ethical, social and other critical dimensions associated with a career in development.

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.
