Course summary

During this International Development degree, you will study the development process in middle-income countries and the changing global economy. You will graduate with a deep understanding of how such middle-income countries, or "emerging economies", are grappling with challenges related to economic, social, and political development. You will begin your first year of this International Development BA by learning all about development studies, the history of the global economy, and the economic, social and political analysis of emerging economies. The second year is when you will deepen your knowledge of development theory and learn the quantitative and qualitative methods used to research development, and which you will apply in your dissertation. For the rest of the International Development course, you’ll get to choose from a wide range of modules and craft your own syllabus or pathway. This interdisciplinary degree boasts modules from the worlds of economics, politics, sociology, social anthropology, and management. This gives you the opportunity to study a broad range of topics, from the political economy of development in Latin America or issues of development in South Asia to microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, climate change, politics and democracy, poverty and inequality, or social justice. You could blend comparative public policy with sustainability in emerging economies or focus on global value chains and local development, or project management for international development.
