Inequality and exclusion lie at the heart of the ‘wicked problems’ that societies face today. You will learn to identify and address them through a collaborative approach that offers a critical and empirical exploration of the causes and consequences of inequalities in societies around the world. The programme offers you flexibility and choice in the way you study, supporting you to develop advanced knowledge of the ways in which data practices can exacerbate inequalities but also support projects and policies of inclusion.
You will develop your own understanding and ability to lead in building future inclusive societies by working with leading-edge knowledge, applying insights to a project you care about, and developing essential creative and practical skills to support your work. You will have access to sector experts and leading researchers addressing how we build and sustain more equitable societies. By supporting you to engage critically, this programme will help you develop your ability to lead positive change.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this programme, you will be able to: Characterise and analyse the extent and dimensions of social inclusion in any given institutional and human situation. Design creative solutions for improving the inclusiveness of programmes, projects and policies, across sectors. Draw on and combine different disciplines/viewpoints when analysing the inclusiveness of societies and designing solutions.
Career opportunities
All students will develop a solid understanding of data-driven decision-making in international and local development; they will possess the analytic, research, and creative skills to approach challenges in new, robust, and data-informed ways. Recent graduates will be well placed to enter the job market as ‘translators’ between data scientists and people operating at strategic or operational levels – likely roles include private, public, and third sector project, programme, and policy advisers, analysts, and coordinators.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in any discipline.
