MA Educational Planning, Economics and International Development in London United Kingdom | University College London

The Educational Planning, Economics and International Development MA will provide students with the relevant knowledge, understanding and skills to work in educational planning, policy, management and administration in the context of international development. The programme focuses on issues affecting low and middle income contexts. This programme provides students with an opportunity to identify and examine the interconnections between education, society and the economy and their implications for educational planning. The application of economic principles to educational planning issues is a core focus of the programme. It provides opportunities to critique the ways in which economic analysis and evidence are applied to education policy issues, including by international organisations and national authorities. The programme focuses on educational planning in low and middle income contexts specifically, where resource scarcity may be especially acute; attending to the linkages between education and wider social and economic development in these contexts.
