MSc Organisational Change and Development is designed for individuals who are passionate about improving how organisations function in complex and rapidly evolving environments, especially across low- and middle-income countries.<br/><br/>Whether youre looking to influence policy, strengthen institutions, or drive internal innovation, this course gives you the tools to shape meaningful and lasting organisational transformation.<br/><br/>Organisations across the developing world are increasingly confronted by powerful forces; economic crises, global competition, structural reform, climate change, and rapid technological innovation. In such dynamic contexts, the capacity to adapt, evolve and grow isn’t just valuable - it’s essential.<br/><br/>This course equips you with the knowledge and practical skills to diagnose challenges, plan strategic responses, manage change processes, and implement effective development interventions.<br/><br/>You’ll explore the dynamics of organisational systems, leadership, and learning, and engage with real-world case studies to understand how change happens in practice, and why it often fails.<br/><br/>With an emphasis on the unique institutional, cultural, and socio-political contexts of developing and transitional economies, the course takes a truly global and applied approach to organisational development.<br/><br/>As organisations and governments increasingly recognise the importance of effective change management, there is a growing demand for professionals who can lead with insight and empathy.<br/><br/>This MSc is ideal if you’re aiming for a career in international development, consultancy, the public sector, NGOs, or private sector roles focused on institutional reform, human resources, or organisational strategy.<br/><br/>By the time you graduate, you’ll not only understand the theories and frameworks behind organisational change - you’ll be ready to make it happen.
