BA INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH POLITICS WITH A PLACEMENT YEAR

Levels of development differ between and within countries. On this degree you’ll study the causes of that inequality and explore possible solutions. You’ll also discover how the development process is shaped by key development actors, including governments, international development agencies, NGOs, and social movements. 

ABOUT
This innovative degree programme combines the study of politics with interdisciplinary approaches to international development. 

You’ll study a range of topics including the politics of poverty, inequality, conflict and democracy and how governments, international development agencies, NGOs and social movements influence political, economic and social change. You also get to choose from a range of options with the School of International Development, and in other departments. In your dissertation you’ll study a topic of your own choice in depth, under the supervision of a faculty member. 

You’ll also have the chance to develop a range of skills including research skills, data analysis, designing policy interventions and civil society campaigns, delivering presentations, and team work. 

You’ll be taught by academic staff whose research is internationally renowned. We’re actively involved in research across the globe, working with many national and international development agencies. 

Our research keeps our lecturers in touch with development issues at grassroots level, ensuring you benefit from the very latest thinking. 

Our flexible approach to learning enables you to explore your interests and strengths, graduating with a world-class degree in international development.
