International Development MSc/PGDip by distance learning

This main pathway is designed for flexibility, allowing you to choose five out of the six 20-credit modules from a list of options:

• International Development (20 credits) – critically examine development theories and their application

Choice of optional modules (100 credits) – choose five modules from the following 20 credit modules:

• Conflict and Development
• Development in Practice (Distance Learning)
  
• Development Politics
• Disability and Development (Distance Learning)
• Introduction to Development Projects
• Non-governmental Organisations and Development (Distance Learning)
• Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development
• Rural Poverty and Development
• Social Analysis of Poverty and Development

Dissertation (60 credits, MSc only) – pursue in-depth research with support from a dissertation supervisor. For distance learning students we recommend desk-based research.

The programme begins with a two week online induction module (non-accredited); and the dissertation work is preceded by a two week online research methods module (again, non-accredited).

The optional modules listed on the website for this programme may unfortunately occasionally be subject to change. Where the module is no longer available we will let you know as soon as we can and help you make other choices.
