Social Impact and Philanthropy
Becoming an agent of positive and meaningful social change takes skill and practice. There’s a wealth of knowledge you need to manage in order to shape and drive change in your community and see the impact philanthropy can have.
Our philanthropic studies and social impact courses give you the skills, history and knowledge to lead organisations in creating change. In your social impact degree you’ll learn the principles to measure your impact, innovate and create new models to help social investment.
Our social impact degree and its related courses are conducted through the Centre for Social Impact, a network of three Australian universities with the shared purpose of enabling others to achieve positive social change.
Whether you are just starting out or in the field already, philanthropic studies at Swinburne will give you the ability to make a social impact and help you create entirely new models of giving.
