COURSE OVERVIEW
Our international development programme examines the issues, processes and institutions central to global poverty, inequality and development as well as exploring the historically embedded assumptions that underpin development. It is ideal if you are planning a career in development agencies, international organisations and NGOs.
The compulsory modules for this interdisciplinary course introduce you to key debates that have shaped thinking on international poverty and development, and will equip you with knowledge of the conceptual and theoretical bases of development. They will improve your skills of evaluation and analysis, enabling you to participate critically in debates on the changing nature of the multilateral, bilateral and non-governmental institutions designed to address development issues, the context in which they operate and the constraints they face. You will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of thematic option modules, allowing you to tailor the course according to your personal or career interests.
You will develop transferable skills including team-working, written and oral communication, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
We offer this course as a Master’s, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate. For the Diploma and Certificate you study fewer modules and do not complete a dissertation.
