Course summary

Have you ever wondered why our world is so unequal? Why some people, some groups, some countries are worse off than others? Have you ever thought about where power really lies in our societies? And what role governments, international organisations, transnational corporations, NGOs, civil society or ordinary people can play in influencing social change? Is democracy in crisis? How do we prevent war? How do we address human rights abuses? Learn to tackle these big questions – and many more – in our BA Global Development with Politics with a Year Abroad. Our innovative course combines a strong interdisciplinary foundation with a specialist political lens in the study of global development. You’ll take core modules that seek to understand critical contemporary issues from a political perspective – including poverty, inequality, democracy, conflict, and peace – focusing specifically on how development processes are shaped by key political organisations and the power relationships between them. You’ll also obtain practical skills in research and data analysis that will develop you into a well-rounded social researcher with a range of skills that are attractive to employers. In addition to this political focus, you’ll gain a broad grounding in the key issues, organisations and practices of development, fusing insights from politics with those from across the social sciences, including economics, environmental sciences, geography, media, and anthropology. You can develop your understanding of particular regions in the world, and you can pursue your interests as they emerge. In your third year, you’ll study abroad at one of our partner Universities, taking courses that complement your studies with us. The result is an extremely flexible degree programme that you can tailor to suit your particular interests. 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. As such, you’ll not only learn from our world-renowned political experts within the School, but you can benefit from a truly vibrant academic environment. Here at UEA, we’re amongst the best in the world for researching, teaching, and practicing development, and our students go on to work in a variety of careers in development, and beyond. Come and study with us and help to create a fairer world.
