MSc International Development

... United Kingdom
... University of Portsmouth

Course Overview

Keep working toward a better world, and creating a vision of what a fairer, interconnected global community could be, with this interdisciplinary Master's in International Development.

You'll shape your existing passion and knowledge of the sector into the practical tools, strategies and techniques needed by organisations working in international development.

As well as exploring issues including colonialism and globalisation, you'll tailor the course to your interests by choosing topics that focus on the sustainable development goals closest to your heart - such as education, economics, migration and human insecurity, population health or transitional justice.

You'll be following a wholly-online distance learning programme, designed to give you control over the pace of your learning. All materials are available on demand as you study with us, with seminars organised around your availability rather than a rigid timetable.

You'll also be on a course that's popular with professionals in the field, so whether you're already working in international development or looking for a first role in the sector, you'll be in a position to build your network with fellow practitioners.
