International Development (Online Learning) MSc

The MSc in International Development programme offers you an unparalleled opportunity to deepen your understanding and engagement with the most pressing challenges confronting people, communities and institutions in the Global South. We can approach challenges as questions, such as:

* What are the processes that have shaped poverty and inequality across the world, as well as the responses to them?

* How do they differ across international, national, and local contexts?

* What drives global poverty and inequality, and why do dominant explanations consistently fail to confront them? 

* From Nairobi, Naples to New Delhi, the same policy rarely lands the same way. Why does context beat design?

How you will learn

This programme builds and strengthens your critical skills for analysing development processes and inequities, and for exploring development issues in a range of different social, historical and political contexts.

The programme is multidisciplinary in nature and aims to provide you with:

* a rigorous grounding in major debates, theories and critical concepts and

* proficiency in applying your knowledge to investigating contemporary development challenges, policy processes, and initiatives
