Course overview
Course overview
High performing students will be attracted to Deakin’s
Bachelor of Arts - Advanced (Honours) as it allows them
to enrol immediately in a four-year Honours degree.
The Bachelor of Arts – Advanced (Honours) provides an
advanced level of knowledge in a particular disciplinary
area. It gives students the opportunity to develop
and apply skills of critical and systematic thinking; an
imaginative understanding of and appreciation for
the theory and practice of the social sciences, the
humanities, and the arts; enhanced cultural sensitivity
and understanding through genuine reciprocity of values;
skills and knowledge relevant to employment in an
international workforce; and familiarity with the use and
importance of technology in learning and employment.
Completion of Honours denotes that a student can
undertake an independent research of quality, and for
some, it can be the start of further study such as PhD.

Get the expertise to respond to challenges of poverty,
disempowerment and wider development aspirations in
creative, effective and culturally-sensitive ways.
Good development promotes justice, reduces poverty
and builds environments for people to lead sustainable,
productive and fulfilling lives.
Development programs and project work for poverty
reduction and social cohesion are major areas of
professional employment. You can focus your studies on
countries undergoing the development process or on
communities within Australia.
Deakin’s Master of International and Community
Development provides you with analytical skills to
understand the contexts of development programs as
well as practical skills. These skills help you formulate,
resource, implement, and evaluate international and
community development projects.
As part of this course, you’ll be required to undertake
research in a relevant area. You’ll also develop a good
balance of theoretical knowledge and practical skills
to allow you to undertake projects that benefit the
communities in which you work.
Core Units and Streams
Students complete one core unit (1 credit point), plus
one of three streams (2 credit points or 4 credit points),
plus one of three research options (2 credit points, 4
credit points or 6 credit points) plus electives to a total of
