Students will examine challenges such as the reduction of inequality and exclusion, the expansion of economic and social choices, the progressive realisation of human rights, and the argument for sustainable development. Students will acquire a range of skills to enable them to work effectively in the development field.
A wide range of specialisations are available to enable you to select areas where you wish to develop your expertise.
The MA programme allows students to choose to complete a dissertation or apply for an internship.
