This course adopts an innovative interdisciplinary approach to the study of international development, exploring the most pressing issues of the 21st century from a range of different perspectives. Fusing insights from anthropology, economics, environmental sciences, geography, media, and politics, you’ll explore the most urgent global challenges of our time, from poverty to inequality, pandemics to climate change, education to civil war. You’ll also obtain research skills training. This, combined with the truly interdisciplinary nature of this course, will develop you into a well-rounded social researcher with a range of skills that are attractive to employers. The result is an extremely flexible degree course that you can tailor to suit your particular interests, and that allows you to combine an interdisciplinary foundation with a focused specialism. During your foundation year, we’ll work with you to help you make the best decision for your developing interests and career goals. At the end of the Foundation Year, you could continue with the BA Global Development degree or choose to follow another of our pathways within the School of Global Development, including: BA Global Development, BA Global Development with Anthropology, BA Global Development with Economics, BA Global Development with Politics, BA Media and Global Development, BA Geography and Global Development, BA Global Development Management and BSc Global Development and the Environment. All degrees in the School of Global Development offer additional options to take a study abroad year, a placement year or a placement module.
