During the course, you'll explore concepts in a variety of fields including culture studies, sociology, ethics, Indigenous knowledge, community development, international humanitarian assistance and development, project management, and language studies. You'll learn from academics and industry practitioners who have a professional focus on national and international community work, disaster relief and development.

We recommend you apply for a credit transfer if you've previously completed your study. This can be from a course you've completed at CDU or another institution.
You need to have completed your course within the last 7 years, and it should be relevant to the new course you're studying.
If it's been longer than 7 years since you completed your course, we suggest you apply for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) instead.
Credit will appear on your Academic Record as either a unit (if the unit you completed directly matches the learning outcomes of a CDU unit) or as several credit points at a certain level. This is called unspecified credit and can be used in place of any general electives in your study plan.
In order to participate in two compulsory placements in your second and third year, you'll need to satisfy the requirements of a criminal history check.
