Course summary


Overview

Have you ever wondered about the biggest issues in the world today? About how we tackle the challenges we face in our local communities, our national contexts, and in global society? Questions like: Why is there so much poverty and how can we reduce it? Why do racial, ethnic, class, gender and other inequalities persist and how can we change things? How can we mitigate climate change? Youll learn to tackle these big questions – and many more – in our BA Global Development with a Placement Year. In your third year, youll have the invaluable opportunity to gain hands-on experience through a real-world work placement. We take an innovative interdisciplinary approach to the study of global development, exploring the most pressing challenges of the 21st century from a range of different perspectives. Fusing insights from anthropology, economics, environmental sciences, geography, media, and politics, youll explore the most urgent global challenges of our time, from poverty to inequality, pandemics to climate change, education to civil war. Youll also obtain research skills training. This combined with the truly interdisciplinary nature of this course, will develop you into a well-rounded social researcher with a range of skills that are attractive to employers. Youll be given a broad grounding in the key issues, organisations and practices of development, before choosing from a range of modules that extend and deepen your understanding of the subject. You can choose to specialise in particular themes, such as gender, education, migration, or conflict. You can develop your understanding of particular regions in the world, such as sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, or Latin America. You can obtain a stronger grounding in the practices of development, or pursue your emerging interests in a particular area. This is an extremely flexible degree programme that you can tailor to suit your own interests. By studying with us, youll join our close-knit academic community, made up of experts from across multiple disciplines, all housed within the School of Global Development.
