This Emerging Economies and International Development MSc is an interdisciplinary social science degree in international development with a distinct focus on middle-income countries. You’ll combine interdisciplinary training in subjects such as development theory and practice, political economy, poverty and inequality, gender, and social policy with applied case studies on a range of middle-income countries and regions.

You’ll look at countries that don’t depend heavily on aid and have their own internal engines of growth, to consider what we can learn from their experiences and development models. You’ll also get a rigorous training in research methods and analysis, with introductory and advanced modules teaching both qualitative and quantitative research skills, which you’ll then apply with a dissertation.

You’ll graduate from your Emerging Economies and International Development MSc with a broad range of skills, including research design, analysis and synthesis of information, qualitative and quantitative analysis, collaboration in a culturally diverse environment, verbal presentation and essay writing skills, among many others.

Key benefits
