International Development MSc is a postgraduate degree at University of Bristol, based in Bristol, taught full-time over 1 year.
About this course
This programme is designed for anyone involved in conceptualising or administering policies related to the Global Development Challenges. It is especially suitable if you are already involved in planning development strategies, currently working for a non-governmental or governmental organisation in the development field, or planning for a career in development.
The programme combines an intellectual and academic approach with policy-oriented and empirical studies of development. It addresses three separate, but related, facets of the development process:
- Analysing what development means.
- Studying the processes of planning (external aid, regional disparities, environmental factors, poverty and industrialisation).
- Examining how development policies may be delivered and administered, analysing the importance of effective political and bureaucratic structures, and evaluating the contributions of NGOs and other external bodies.
