Overview

The Sustainable Development program at Monash University has a practical or policy emphasis that is solution focused. MSDI offers you a stimulating, supportive and professional environment within which you can explore the issues relating to climate change and sustainability facing society today.

Key facts

A Doctor of Philosophy involves the independent investigation of a research problem formulated in consultation with your supervisors. You will produce a research thesis of no more than 80,000 words (or alternative approved output).

Your interdisciplinary research will be undertaken on topics associated with environmental, social and economic sustainability and climate change. You will be expected to approach the research from the perspective of two or more disciplines. This precludes research that is laboratory based.

Careers and opportunities

Along with the research component of the program, you will also be required to complete a series of professional development activities or coursework units relevant to your chosen research focus.

These activities are designed to provide you with the skills needed to develop your professional skills and prepare you for a career beyond your degree.
