Overview

Master of Sustainable Development

Real change can happen when tomorrow’s sustainable development leaders come together to share their experiences, ideas and insights – and for over a decade, the sustainability Masters have been doing just that. 

By taking the course at Murdoch, you’ll become part of a much-valued group of sustainability professionals who make a difference in Australia and worldwide.

You’ll examine global sustainability challenges and explore inspiring solutions at international, regional and local levels. 

You’ll learn about urban and regional sustainability, climate change adaptation, sustainability education and ethics, and take a closer look at sustainability and international development within Asia.

You could choose professional-based electives specialising in project and risk management, ethics, sustainability within businesses, and leading and managing non-government organizations. 

You might choose policy-based electives specialising in environmental impact assessment, environmental policy and energy policy.

As you study, you’ll have the chance to build your professional portfolio of work, completing an internship or practical project for academic credit. 

Past students have interned with local governments, leading sustainability businesses such as The Forever Project and NGOs such as Perth City Farm.
