Course Overview

The compulsory modules for this interdisciplinary course introduce you to key debates that have shaped thinking on international poverty and development and will equip you with knowledge of the conceptual and theoretical bases of development. They will improve your skills of evaluation and analysis, enabling you to participate critically in debates on the changing nature of the multilateral, bilateral, and non-governmental institutions designed to address development issues, the context in which they operate, and the constraints they face. You will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of thematic option modules, allowing you to tailor the course according to your personal or career interests.

You will develop transferable skills including team-working, written and oral communication, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis.

We offer this course as a Master’s, Postgraduate Diploma, and Postgraduate Certificate. For the Diploma and Certificate, you study fewer modules and do not complete a dissertation.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in social sciences or humanities. Other applicants will also be considered.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, the requirement for this course is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 7.5, with not less than 7.0 in each of the sub-tests.
