MSc in International Development
The programme is designed to assist a wide range of people involved in conceptualising or administering policies which aim at a sustainable and substantial level of development in the world's poorer countries. It is especially suitable for those already involved in planning development strategies, those currently working for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the development field those planning a career in development.
The programme combines an intellectual and academic approach with policy-oriented and empirical studies of development, addressing three interrelated but separate facets of the development process:
Analysis of what 'development' means
Studying the processes of planning (external aid, regional disparities, environmental factors, poverty, and industrialisation)
Examining how development policies may be delivered and administered, analysing the importance of effective political and bureaucratic structures, and evaluating the contributions of NGSs and other external bodies
