Course description

This masters double degree provides a broad-based foundation in the knowledge and skills required for employment and active involvement in sustainable development and environmental management in Asian societies.

It is designed for students who are particularly interested in Asian studies and development in the Asian context. The double degree combines the strengths of the two partner programs (Asian studies and international development and environmental analysis), and offers postgraduate students a chance to considerably enhance their qualifications in a course tailored to their interests but in less time than it would usually take to gain two masters degrees.

Entry requirements

Candidates for admission must have a relevant undergraduate degree with a minimum of a credit average (60 C) from a recognised tertiary institution.
