Summary
The core module aims to familiarise you with the key concepts and theories and with the changing roles of international development organisations and states in promoting international development.
The purpose of this course is to give those working in the area of poverty reduction and development in developing and transitional countries, or those wishing to work in such areas, a firmer grounding in understanding poverty and inequality, promoting poverty reduction and analysing the performance of major poverty reducing programmes and policies.
The emphasis throughout will be on encouraging you to reflect critically on what has worked well or not and why. You will select three optional modules (at 20 credits each) based on your individual interests and career aspirations.
You will be able to study from anywhere in the world with practitioners in government, civil society and the private sector, as well as with people new to development.
