If you’re seeking to start or advance a career in development and humanitarian management, this Master’s course will enable you to acquire the skills necessary to develop an informed and critical stance on the challenges facing the development sector.

Practical issues are at the heart of this one-year full-time MSc programme. You’ll develop a rigorous and deep critique of the ways NGOs and other agencies operate, along with an understanding of the political contexts of development. You'll develop a strong conceptual understanding of key debates and issues in international development. You’ll also gain technical skills in project design and project management.

Research in UEA’s renowned School of Global Development focuses on addressing contemporary challenges in developing and transitioning economies via disciplinary and multi-disciplinary approaches. You’ll consistently benefit from our excellent research-led teaching, ensuring you’ll encounter the latest thinking in the field.

Within the programme, you’ll be supported in developing complementary specialist areas of interest and you’ll have the flexibility to choose modules from a range of disciplines, including economics, agricultural policy, media, environmental justice, climate change, gender, and education.

A Development Work Placement is a strongly recommended option in the summer semester, as an alternative to a dissertation. You’ll be able to work with a relevant organisation, writing an extended analytical report on your experience. The placement will allow you to reflect on and apply the ideas and concepts you’ll have learned throughout your studies. You’ll be able to look at humanitarian issues, the results agenda, project management systems, and other key topics within your chosen organisation.
