Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in International Development and Education

Program Overview

Taking a broad approach to education, this course explores the multifaceted role of education across all development goals. You'll explore the intersectionality of education - covering a complex array of interconnected and related challenges and issues, such as armed conflict, donor agendas, economic imperatives and teacher recruitment, training, and governance.

You'll critically explore the assumptions behind and evidence of the role of education in development, and the challenges faced by educational innovators when attempting to break the cycle of poverty and inequality. Theoretical approaches are contrasted with the realpolitik, through annual field visits focused on a specific set of issues.

There are opportunities for international placements in each year of the degree. Please note that these optional study visits entail significant additional travel costs.

There is no established path into the development sector, and this course helps to bridge the gap between vocational aspirations and academic knowledge.

BA (Hons) International Development and Education is designed to help you develop a critical awareness of the intersectional issues in international development and education. This offers a great opportunity for a number of career choices, and a solid foundation for further experience and study in the sector. There's an opportunity for you to undertake a professional placement year between your second and third year of study, which is particularly relevant if you want to continue your studies.

Broad and regular interaction with the field offers you a wealth of experience to reflect on in your learning.
