Course overview

This established international development course, which has been running for ten years, examines the central issues facing developing countries in today's globalised world, giving you the skills for a job in development and the wider sectors. We aim to make you an informed and critical development practitioner. You will be equipped with all the practical skills that are demanded by development agencies.

You will also gain insight across the wider picture, understanding how developing countries can progress and how the poor can be mobilised to escape from the poverty trap. The course also explores how NGOs can play a key role in promoting social and economic progress and you will develop the ability to identify, design and implement programmes to engage with and enhance the situation of the poor. Our students and staff are a diverse group from different backgrounds and your tutors have expertise in many key development regions and countries from South Asia and Latin America to the Middle East and Africa.
