Course Overview

Our Postgraduate Diploma in International Development examines the issues, processes, and institutions central to global poverty, inequality and development. It is ideal if you want to further your knowledge of, or are planning a career in, development agencies, international organizations, NGOs, or related areas. This interdisciplinary program's compulsory modules 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 program according to your personal or career interests. Besides, you will develop transferable skills including team-working, written and oral communication, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in social sciences or humanities. Other applicants will also be considered. Previous experience or study of development issues may be an advantage. Two references: preferably both academic references, but employer references may be considered.
