The school sees itself as being an international school,
so our ambitions are national and international.
We see ourselves as being part of a
much larger network of Schools of Government internationally.
We have particular relationships with
Universities in China, India and Indonesia,
but we also see our relationships as being
with good Schools of Government in Europe
and the United States and South America.
So we have pretty global ambitions for the school
and we expect it's reach to be global.
A lot of them will be looking for jobs
within the ngo sector
so whether that's within Australia,
whether that's in the international context.
That would be one of the key kinds of entry points,
for many many students with a degree.
Some do end up going into Government,
into positions within AusAID or DFAT for instance.
Others may end up trying on the UN track,
the various UN agencies and trying for a
career along that track.
There'll be internship opportunities,
there'll be opportunities for student exchanges
and also academic exchanges.
And we'll also being exploring the possibility
of longer term research partnerships.
Students can do a subject that basically
involves doing an internship with an organisation.
Now that can be an organisation within Australia,
within Melbourne,
so there's a whole range of different ngo's that
we have partnerships with.
Or it can also be an internship with
an organisation abroad.
I went on exchange as part of my Masters
which I think was one of the most interesting things to do,
because I got to study development in a different country.
I was in Montreal in Canada, so also
a developed country, but looking far more at
the Middle East and North Africa
and parts of the world that Australia doesn't
focus on in terms of development.
So that was a really interesting perspective.
