This course takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing insights from areas including ecology, law, economics, international relations and politics. Read More >>
Testimonials:
Q. “What were the best aspects of your IARU GSP experience?”
“The field trip to Kioloa and the negotiations exercise stand out,
partly because of the different environment and the entire experience, and
partly because it really let us put into practice everything we'd learnt in
words in the course.”
- Chin Huilin, 2010
ANU GSP participant from the University of Oxford
“Meeting a bunch of great, intelligent people from diverse academic and
cultural backgrounds. Teachers were
comprehensive in their knowledge and flexible in teaching style. I really valued the negotiations, as this gave
practical experience in a fascinating field and led me to consider how I act in
those situations. The experience and
knowledge of the teachers and fellow students was extremely valuable.”
- Patrick Simons, 2010 ANU
GSP participant from the Australian National University.
