Why study the Graduate Certificate in Community Development?
Community development is a dynamic and growing field of practice used within all levels of government and across many departments (health, communities, aging, housing, disabilities, multicultural, indigenous). Community development also plays a vital role in volunteer and not-for-profit organisations in addition to having an emergent role in private enterprise such as the financial sector (e.g. community banking) and urban development. This program is a one year part-time program that equips students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to become either a community development practitioner or integrate community development practice into other professional fields. The program provides a suite of courses that integrate theory and practice in local and international settings and focuses on personal and social change.
