The MSc in International Development programme offers you an unparalleled opportunity to deepen your understanding and engagement with the most pressing challenges confronting people, communities and institutions in the Global South. We can approach challenges as questions, such as:
What are the processes that have shaped poverty and inequality across the world, as well as the responses to them?
How do they differ across international, national, and local contexts?
How you will learn
This programme builds and strengthens your critical skills for analysing development processes and inequities, and for exploring development issues in a range of different social, historical and political contexts.
The programme is multidisciplinary in nature and aims to provide you with:
a rigorous grounding in major debates, theories and critical concepts and
proficiency in applying your knowledge to investigating contemporary development challenges, policy processes, and initiatives
