Syllabus:

This interdisciplinary skills-oriented course examines how projects are put together (designed) in order to bring about meaningful and positive change. It does this by investigating the project design process, as well as how projects are managed and evaluated. Students pursue an individual project design as their main assessed output. This design is self-selected and can address any issue of importance to students' own disciplines, such as how to reduce crime, how to increase access to disability services or how to promote disaster recovery (to name but a few potential projects). Using material derived from International Development sector organisations such as DFAT and UKAID students explore key project design elements, including: (i) undertaking formative social, political and economic analysis; (ii) setting objectives; (iii) defining, monitoring activities; (iv) considering gender; (v) thinking about sustainability and the environment; (vi) how to capture the impacts associated with development programs. The course is heavily geared towards small group discovery, with small groups undertaking practical exercises that build real-world skills relevant to multiple disciplines.
