International development concerns the global challenge of combating poverty and injustice.

The subject helps you to critically examine the effects of policy, projects and businesses on people’s wellbeing and future opportunities.

You’ll apply theories and methods from economics, politics, sociology and anthropology to analyse how governments, organisations and communities engage with global challenges. Using case studies and diverse forms of data, you’ll explore what works in practice, how, why and for whom.

You will be able to benefit from the work of our Centre for Development Studies. This will allow you to engage with contemporary research that informs international policy and practice.
