Leading to: Social Development MA

Poverty and inequality, aid and humanitarianism, human rights and empowerment, education and employment, sustainability and climate change are some of the key development challenges facing the world today.

On this course, you’ll gain the analytical skills and global perspective to work towards solutions. You’ll:

  • Explore the broad field of international development
  • Specialise in topics ranging from childhood, youth and education to sustainable livelihoods, mobility and migration
  • Benefit from our global network of research partnerships, alumni and professionals
  • Have opportunities to network with development practitioners around the world.

In the School of Global Studies, you’ll be part of a diverse and vibrant community of development scholars and students from around the world. There’s an exciting calendar of public events including talks by key thinkers, leaders and activists in development. You’ll also have access to student-led conferences and social events.

This course is designed for you to focus on social dynamics and human relations, which sit at the heart of all development processes. There’s a need in policy-making and practice for expertise in the social dynamics of development. When you graduate, you’ll be ideally placed to respond to this need as you start your career in the field of development.
