Overview
If you’re working in or wishing to work in the humanitarian sector, kick-start your career with an industry-relevant, formal qualification.
The current environment in which humanitarian workers find themselves is more complex and diverse than ever. Conflicts are increasingly complicated and natural disasters are escalating in number and intensity. These often occur in regions already struggling with socio-economic and political constraints and fragility.
Career
It is expected that completion of the Master of Humanitarian Assistance from Deakin University will place you in a favourable position to advance your professional standing.
Employment in the humanitarian field is expanding, including in related areas, such as teaching, training, organisation and community capacity building, disaster risk reduction assessment and programming, consulting enterprises, journalism and communications, project management and community development.
