BA (Hons) International Development: Global Health
Do you have a global outlook and passion for social change? If so, this unique and rewarding course could help you to play a future role in the pursuit of improved global health and wellbeing.
On this innovative programme you will critically explore the challenges of sustainable health and wellbeing in low- and middle-income countries as a basis for understanding complex issues in international development.
Our three-year degree takes a broad and interdisciplinary view, looking in-depth at the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the work of the World Health Organisation to cover social and economic development issues such as poverty, health, global warming, gender equality and social justice.
An important aim of the programme is to sharpen your awareness of the wider and interdependent issues facing the health of the world’s population through the analysis of selected case studies. You also develop an understanding of the work of groups and agencies active in the fields of development, including through fieldwork-based placements, giving you the necessary experience and exposure to maximise graduate employability in related sectors.

Job Opportunity Potential
Graduates of International Development go on to careers in charitable organisations, businesses and the NHS in the UK and abroad, taking on roles in general/project management, community and/or business development, campaigning, advocacy, fundraising, service improvement, policy analysis and development, evaluation and research, and health promotion. Alternatively, you may choose to take your studies further to a higher degree in international development or more specifically in health and wellbeing, or use this qualification as a gateway to other professional pathways such as nursing or medicine as a mature student.
If on graduating you decided not to seek a job in international development, you will nevertheless leave with enhanced capabilities that you – and a future employer – would find highly desirable: critical thinking; social research; articulate writing and speaking; good understanding of wide range of educational, social, political, welfare matters; business principles, practices and values; and a sound appreciation of the challenges facing the globalised, interdependent world we are part of.
