Address the global challenges of poverty and violence by linking theory and practice and make a positive difference to the lives of people around the world. This is the opportunity for students to develop their awareness of the relationships between peace, conflict resolution and development both nationally and internationally.
Students will consider issues such as gender, poverty, employment, human rights and the role of civil society and community participation in decision-making and governance. From security threats and terrorism to the arms trade and non-violent social movements, students will acquire an in-depth insight into contemporary global issues. Students will study the political, economic, cultural, environmental and technological changes that influence development decisions.
We place a real emphasis on international debate and their teaching will be delivered in small groups involving students from around the world, giving students access to a range of cultural perspectives to inform their learning. We will also provide them with skills in project management and they will learn how to draw up funding applications, competencies essential for working in the field.
