Course summary

In a world of growing inequalities, escalating climate crises and polarised debates on aid and investment, the challenges of international development have never been more urgent. Our MSc aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to shape development research and practice across public, private and third sectors.

Our course is rooted in interdisciplinary learning and decolonising knowledge, giving you the opportunity to explore global development challenges and solutions.

Our approach to your learning combines teaching from experts, tailored professional skills training, an optional field class and a research-based dissertation (based on placements, research collaborations or independent research).

This enables you to gain interdisciplinary knowledge in subjects as varied as environmental justice, inequality and rural and urban development. A range of optional modules allows you to tailor your learning experience.
