he MSc Globalisation and Development examines the relationship between globalisation and processes of social and economic development at a variety of scales. In contrast to many ‘Development’ Masters, the degree examines issues of globalisation and development, inequality, power and resistance in the Global North as well as South, paying particular attention to the connections between North and South and the politics of an increasingly transnational world.
Through a range of pedagogical methods (seminars, presentations and workshops) you will have the opportunity to engage with the latest theoretical and working practices in this field, providing a basis for those who may wish to pursue work in this area – whether through research or practice.
