Drive meaningful change with our MA in Global Social Development. This forward-thinking course empowers you to explore and tackle the world’s most pressing social development challenges. You’ll study social development issues such as vulnerability, cultural complexity, resilience, gender inequality, social exclusion, justice and education policies for development.
This dynamic programme offers a specific focus on gender analysis. You’ll study the relationship between economic growth and gender equity, household dynamics, and empowerment. These critical topics are at the forefront of global development goals, and on the agendas of key international development agencies such as Oxfam, the UN and the World Bank.
On this rewarding Master’s course, you'll explore issues like the impact of micro-credit interventions on social inequality and the gendered dynamics of climate change politics.

You'll delve into complex cultural topics, such as witchcraft accusations and honour-based violence against women, analysing how social development practitioners can design effective interventions to support community wellbeing.
This course equips you to tackle local and global wellbeing challenges by examining successful development processes. You'll focus on community-level analysis, gaining insights into how people on the ground respond to interventions, which is crucial for assessing impact.
