This degree programme offers an interdisciplinary grounding in the central themes of development theory, policy, and practice. It focuses on the analysis of major contemporary challenges such as reducing economic and social inequalities, promoting inclusive economic growth, and achieving climate justice. The programme links theory and practice by examining concrete case studies throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. This is an ideal option for people interested in understanding the economic, political, social, and environmental dimensions of development processes shaping societies in the Americas.

This MSc programme encourages students to think critically about development and actively consider the factors that enable and hinder efforts to build economically prospered, socially just, and environmentally sustainable societies. Students receive advanced training in theories of development and are introduced to the principles of development policy analysis and social science methods as applied to selected case studies.聽

We aim to attract a diverse cohort of people from different backgrounds and experiences who share a deep interest in understanding some of the most pressing global development issues and how these play out in the Americas. We welcome social science and humanities graduates and applicants with other qualifications who have gained development-related work experience in government, NGOs, international organisations, and media.
