Why study this course

Community Development is all about improving the lives of others from a diverse range of backgrounds, to create a healthy and safe place to live. Murdoch's Community Development academics are experts in making positive changes within the community, especially to the lives of Australian Indigenous and migrant communities. Students will learn how to work alongside people with disabilities, teenagers, young children, families, the unemployed or the homeless. Students can study units that explore social, gender and racial inequality, unemployment, health and welfare, social deviance and the law. Community Development graduates are coordinating life changing, community focused projects in local government, not for profit organisations, rural and Indigenous groups. Their work involves creating and implementing projects to positively change the lives of the disadvantaged.

Student review

BA Community Development at Murdoch University has prepared me for my role in remote communities as well as in urban cities. It was wide ranging giving me a broad view of community Development and the many types of roles in the industry. Working full time and studying was overwhelming at times, but the course itself was certainly fair in its balance and workload. By the end of the course with work placement, I understood that I had actually learnt a great deal and valued immensely the time lecturers and tutors put into educating me. Thank You Murdoch University.
