Postgraduate study

We’re excited to welcome new students and familiar faces to our community as we open our doors to postgraduate students for the first time.
By choosing to study with us you’ll be inspired, and challenged, by our GSD team who are at the forefront of their fields and share your passion for global sustainable development.
“Undertaking graduate study - whether on a taught programme or as a doctoral researcher - has the capacity to change the course of your life. It can transform how you see the world, how you understand your place in it, and how you can lead the kind of life that reflects your values and your desire to make a difference. Our graduate programmes create intellectual foundations not just for talking about the problems we collectively face but for taking action to help solve them. Whether the change you make is small-scale and local or on a global stage, it can start with the rigorous critical enquiries you will develop as a part of the GSD community. We hope that you will consider joining us and sharing our passion for change-making."
Dr Mandy Sadan, Director of Graduate Studies
MASc in Global Sustainable Development
Our MASc in Global Sustainable Development is a unique opportunity to join a community of transdisciplinary research and teaching experts. On this course you’ll combine academic learning with practical application to help you tackle problems of global sustainable development.
“The global challenges we face today don’t fit within disciplinary boundaries. We need an integrated approach to have transformative impact on global change. Research on this PhD programme is not only about connecting different disciplinary perspectives, it’s also about connecting to real-world challenges, addressing perspectives outside of academia too."
Professor João Porto de Albuquerque,
Director of Postgraduate Research and IGSD
