What is Global Development?

The world urgently needs a new generation to help tackle global challenges like inequality, conflict, sustainability, and social justice. If you’re ready to make a difference, our BA in Global Development is the place for you.

From day one, you’ll work alongside research-active lecturers to explore the lasting impacts of colonial and imperial legacies. You’ll uncover why partnerships between the Global South and Global North are essential for fair and just development and learn how to challenge power structures that drive inequality on local, national, and global scales.

You’ll explore how cross-cultural dialogues, resistance, mobilisation, and social action can achieve greater social and environmental justice and how people in different parts of the world shape development. You'll be encouraged to expand your understanding of diverse perspectives on development and experiment with action-driven research methods.

You’ll connect to our exciting global development networks through short-term placement options and fieldtrips in the UK and overseas. If you’d like a taster, check out our free Future Learn course.
