We link theory with research, policy with practice and the local/national with the global. We critically engage with the educational challenges of low- and middle-income countries. Our teaching helps you to:
-Gain theoretical and practical knowledge relevant to international education and development
-Apply this knowledge creatively and independently to a specific set of circumstances
-Communicate and present ideas and arguments effectively
How will I study?
You take taught modules and produce assessed work (such as a literature review, briefing paper and two essays) related to each module.
You develop and present your dissertation proposal and then write a final dissertation on a topic of your choice.
Alongside our taught modules, we offer a programme of research seminars on relevant theoretical and practical issues.
