Course overview
A postgraduate degree at Flinders in Sustainable Development will equip you with the knowledge, skills and tools to help create a sustainable future, with real impact by answering real questions, from real topics that need answers. Sustainable development explores the development process across three sectors – society, economy, and the environment - in the context of both developed and developing countries. A core pillar of this degree is exploring the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations, which is a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future. Developing a critical awareness and knowledge of the Goals and their applications are crucial for careers in public, private and non-governmental sector organisations that operate in in the field of development. You’ll learn from industry, and leading academic staff, and graduate with a powerful mix of interdisciplinary skills to solve a range of problems. You’ll analyse and synthesise complex environmental, economic, social and political information to identify and plan appropriate development solutions and contribute to debates about human-environment relationships.
