BA (Hons) Global Development with Economics with a Year Abroad

This innovative course combines a strong interdisciplinary foundation with a specialist economics lens in the study of international development. Youll take core modules that seek to understand critical contemporary issues from an economics perspective including poverty, exclusion, deprivation, foreign aid, the environment, trade and globalisation focusing specifically on how economic and social inequalities arise, and exploring the policies and processes that can reduce them. Youll develop practical skills in economic methods and statistics, learning basic data analysis techniques and exploring specialist statistical software, in order to think systematically about important macroeconomics and microeconomics questions.

In addition to this economics focus, youll gain a broad grounding in the key issues, organisations and practices of development, fusing insights from anthropology with those from across the social sciences, including economics, environmental sciences, geography, media, and politics. You can develop your understanding of particular regions in the world, through area modules relating to sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, or Latin America, and you can pursue your emerging interests in other aspects and perspectives of development. In your third year, youll study abroad at one of our partner Universities, taking courses that complement what you are studying in the School. The result is an extremely flexible degree programme that you can tailor to suit your particular interests, and that allows you to combine an interdisciplinary foundation with your niche specialism.
