Our global development program explores the key challenges, systems, and organizations involved in worldwide poverty, inequality, and progress, while also questioning the historical assumptions behind development concepts. This course is perfect for those pursuing careers with development agencies, international bodies, or NGOs.
The required modules in this interdisciplinary program introduce fundamental discussions that have influenced perspectives on global poverty and development, providing you with conceptual and theoretical foundations. These modules will sharpen your analytical and evaluative skills, preparing you to engage thoughtfully in conversations about evolving multilateral, bilateral, and non-governmental institutions tackling development challenges—their operational contexts and limitations. Additionally, you can select from various specialized optional modules to customize the program based on your professional or personal interests.
