This program provides the solutions you're looking for – and goes even further. Now is the most crucial moment to explore Sustainable Development and Social Change. Globalization persistently affects disadvantaged nations in the global South, while its repercussions emerge in the global North through events like Brexit and the rise of populist governments. Challenges like conflict, climate emergencies, pandemics, and humanitarian disasters all require global action. Our curriculum prepares you to contribute meaningfully to these efforts. You'll gain analytical skills to examine intricate issues, create development initiatives, secure funding, and ultimately build a fulfilling career where you can drive positive global transformation.
We combine academic resources with practical learning, pushing you to look beyond textbooks and media narratives. As an integral part of your studies, you'll have opportunities to work with organizations like Save the Children UK or Otra Cosa in Peru.
The extended program is ideal if you're passionate about Sustainable Development and Social Change but don't meet conventional admission criteria.
After completing an NGO placement, you'll possess both theoretical understanding and practical skills that appeal to employers. While you don't need to have your career mapped out initially, numerous rewarding paths will become available after graduation.
