About the course

Development and emergency practice is a complex, rapidly evolving blend of issues and challenges in the 21st century. And we teach it as such. 

Study the political context of an armed conflict or natural hazard – and how this can influence humanitarian efforts and human-rights-based responses. You can look at which development approaches have increased the impacts of climate change and disasters – and explore how cultural differences affect outcomes. Or gain a practical understanding of designing aid programmes, factoring in long term development goals, humanitarian imperatives and adaptive working.
