International Development MA

Join us to explore the complexities of modern International Development, and build professional skills to address some of the world’s most urgent challenges. Our interdisciplinary MA brings together critical theory, empirical research and real-world application – enabling you to analyse issues from inequality and sustainability to global governance. Throughout the course, you’ll be guided by internationally renowned experts from Warwick’s Politics and International Studies Department, as well as the Warwick Interdisciplinary Research Centre for International Development (WICID).
