Delivered by leading specialists in the field, and drawing from disciplines including International Relations, Sociology, Politics and Human Geography, the programme also provides the foundation for international development research careers in applied or academic settings, including for those wishing to go on to doctoral study in the area.
Studying International Development at Northumbria means being welcomed as part of a community of internationally recognised researchers, educators, practitioners and students working together to tackle poverty and inequality. Through placements, practical assignments, networking events, supported international field visits, and specialist careers events and guidance, International Development students don’t just ‘study’ – they develop the specific skills, contacts, knowledge and experience they need for their careers in the field, whether as practitioners, policy makers or researchers
Professor Matt Baillie Smith, co-director of Centre for Global Development
This interdisciplinary course examines efforts to eradicate global poverty and promote development. It equips students with critical and up to date understanding of development policies, theories, strategies and practices, the operation of development organisations, and the ways individuals and communities experience and challenge poverty and marginalisation. With an emphasis on practice this course is ideal for people wanting to enhance or build a career in international development.
