MA International Development and Education with Cross Cultural Communication

Our course will appeal to anyone concerned about development issues, government policy and the reduction of poverty using entrepreneurial ideas. You’ll develop your understanding of:

• how cultures and human behaviour reflexively interconnect
• school provision in developing countries
• the behaviours of key players in international development
• developments in education provision relating to the interactions of entrepreneurs, governments and international agencies
• philosophical and historical debates on the role of government and markets in education.

Our teaching is informed by research conducted by the:

• EG West Centre
• SOLE Central
• North Leadership Centre
• Research Centre for Learning and Teaching

The EG West Centre is the world’s leading authority on the advancement of affordable private schools serving low income communities across the developing world. Research has focused on post conflict countries such as South Sudan, Liberia and Sierra Leone. It has also explored the growth and expansion of low cost private school chains in countries around the world.
