Master of Arts in Community Development
Course Code: M1131
People involved with government, neighbourhood groups, social action, overseas aid, schools, local councils, sustainability, Indigenous groups, social services, the arts, business and tourism are all talking about community development as a new way of doing things. The Master of Arts in Community Development provides you with an understanding of the practice of community development, the broad range of settings in which it is carried out, social research methods and social policy forces that impact on practice. It also involves students undertaking an original, substantive investigation of a community development issue under the supervision of a Murdoch University staff member.
