Explore how education shapes, and is shaped by, global challenges such as inequality, poverty, conflict, climate change, and migration. The Education and International Development MA is an interdisciplinary course that critically examines the politics of development and the role of education in fostering social justice and sustainable futures, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. Ideal for those from education, international relations, and social science backgrounds, the course equips you with the tools to understand policy, lead change, and critically engage with the evolving meanings and practices of development.
A minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is required together with relevant experience in low or middle-income countries (normally a minimum of six months). Applicants should demonstrate commitment and genuine interest in issues relating to education and international development.
