Humanitarian Assistance

The existing environment where humanitarian workers end up is much significantly more complicated and diverse than everbefore. Conflicts are increasingly complicated and natural disasters are escalating in number and intensity. These often occur in regions already fighting with socioeconomic and political constraints and fragility. This course in humanitarian assistance is strategically positioned as the first course of its kind in the asiapacific region. It builds a special stage where humanitarian practitioners and academics can share knowledge and experience, with a focus on improving direction, preparedness and response skills to national and international emergencies. In conjunction with action-based research at the business this course empowers students to be a powerful and researcher employee, both in Australia and globally. Students will further be equipped to capitalise on Deakin's strong partnerships with applicable international overseas organisations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, additional locally-based NGOs, government agencies like Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as well as other pertinent personnel in the industry.
