MSc Global Development and Environment

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc One year full-time; two years part-time

Course Description

More of the world’s extreme poor now live in middle-income than in low-income countries, and processes such as climate change, transnational migration and globalisation demand a global consideration of the state of the planet. Development is now seen as a global process and activity, rather than something reserved for a subset of countries such as the ‘Third World’ or ‘Global South’. Contemporary global challenges demand the linking of environmental issues to conventional foci of development (like health, urbanisation, poverty, food security and migration). They also demand an understanding of how the world’s resources (water, energy, land, minerals, demography, etc.) are allocated and managed, and how contestations over these distributions play out.

Entry Requirements

An upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in social sciences, physical sciences, life sciences or professional degrees (medicine, architecture, planning or engineering). Candidates with a humanities degree and other non-standard subjects plus relevant work experience will also be considered.

We will consider applicants whose interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme’s entry requirements. We may make these applicants an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so the applicant would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of their degree.

We will consider applicants whose grades are slightly lower than the programme’s entry requirements, if they have at least one of the following:

  • evidence of significant, relevant work experience;
  • a relevant postgraduate qualification.

If this is the case, applicants should include their CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when they apply, showing details of their relevant work experience and/or qualifications.
