NEW in 2025: Global sustainable development is one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century, and the way we manage the challenges we face will impact generations to come. This Major takes an interdisciplinary approach to contemporary global development challenges and priorities, from a social and environmental perspective. The key areas of focus are environmental change, poverty and social exclusion. The Major will have immediate practical value, as graduates will be able to plan for careers in Australia or overseas, in the public, private or non-government sectors.
