Explore the relationship between the environment, international development and social justice, and learn how environmental challenges inform policy and practice.

Course description

Environmental considerations are central to international development theory, policy and practice. Our course gives you an in-depth understanding of the complexities of international development. You'll also explore how society-environment interactions influence international development policy and practice.

You'll develop professional skills, carry out hands-on research during an overseas field class, and you'll complete a placement-based dissertation that links academic theory with development practice.

Our teaching involves industry and sector specialists, which means you can make connections and contacts with a global network of expertise beyond the University. On this course you'll develop the practical skills you need to work within development and environmental organisations around the world.

Please see our University website for the most up-to-date course information.
