Course summary


Overview

The biggest challenges facing society today are global, interconnected, and political. Can we balance economic growth with environmental responsibility? Why are more countries engaged in violent conflict than at any time since World War II? Do tech giants hold too much influence over government policy? And what power do state and non-state actors truly wield? On our BA in Global Development with Politics, you'll learn the fundamentals of political analysis and apply them to the most pressing questions of our time. You'll develop a critical understanding of how and why global challenges-such as climate change, political instability, inequality, pandemics, war, and humanitarian crises-impact different regions and social groups in varied ways. Most importantly, you'll explore where to find transformative solutions. You’ll have the flexibility to combine our specialist politics modules with options from geography, economics, anthropology, media, and environmental studies, alongside core global development modules. You’ll also be able to hone your knowledge of a critical world regions such as Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, or South Asia. You can choose to enhance your learning with a development work placement at one of our partner organisations. Previous students have gained hands-on experience in Uganda, Peru, Thailand, Ghana, Cambodia, Belgium, Tanzania, and Cyprus. By studying with us, you’ll join our close-knit academic community, made up of experts from across multiple disciplines, all housed within the School of Global Development. Collectively our research on Global Development is ranked 1st in the UK (REF 2021). After graduation, you'll be well equipped for a rewarding career in development, and beyond. Our graduates go on to work in government departments, universities, think tanks, consultancy firms, as well as local and national charities.
