Online Master of Leadership for Development

A bachelor degree with honours (minimum Upper Second (2:1) or international equivalent) and at least two years of documented, relevant work experience; or a H2B (70%) or equivalent at The University of Melbourne

In order to be considered for entry, you must have completed:

• An honours degree in a cognate discipline (e.g. social sciences including anthropology; sociology; public policy; social policy; political science; media and communication; journalism; economics; management; population and global health; education; engineering; or architecture and public planning), or equivalent and at least two years of documented, relevant professional work experience, or
• an undergraduate degree in a cognate discipline (e.g. social sciences including anthropology; sociology; public policy; social policy; political science; media and communication; journalism; economics; management; population and global health; education; engineering; or architecture and public planning), or equivalent, and at least two years of documented, relevant professional work experience, or
• a minimum of eight years documented, relevant professional work experience. Candidates entering through this route will be registered for the master’s certificate under a probation arrangement. Failure to pass all master’s certificate course units in the first year of study will disallow registration for a higher-level qualification.

This course is a joint master’s with The University of Melbourne and The University of Manchester. The full course fee for February 2022 intake is $28,164 AUD .

The University of Melbourne is managing the admissions process. You will be expected to pay for each taught subject/unit ($3,520) as the unit starts at the beginning of each study period. This will take place in March, May, July and October of each year you study with us.

If you want to reposition yourself as a leader in development, but don’t want to take time out from your important work to study, this fully-online master’s course will support you to learn on the job.

If you work in or alongside the global development sector – as a manager, planner, policy maker, consultant, educator, entrepreneur, researcher, or community advocate – transform your career with us and change the world for the better.
