This Humanitarian Policy and Practice MSc will equip you with the analytical and evaluative skills to enable you to interpret and analyse complex humanitarian situations, while reflecting on humanitarian policies and practices in the past and present.
Preventing and responding to complex human and planetary needs in situations where the means to respond are limited, is a growing global priority. Conflict, environmental disasters, disease outbreaks and the rapidly escalating impact of the climate emergency demand a comprehensive understanding of the root causes and drivers of humanitarian situations, and an ability to respond effectively and ethically in such circumstances.
Using real-world case studies, this programme will draw from many of the political, ethical and other challenges that humanitarian responders face today.
Based in UCL’s world-leading Faculty of Population Health Sciences, the core of your learning will be organised around a commitment to improving humanitarian policy and practice with the aim of improving collective wellbeing, ensuring ethical and effective humanitarian response, and mitigating the risk of future humanitarian crises.
