Master of Arts in Global Development and Humanitarian Practice

Program Overview

Working with our team of experts and practitioners you can study the political complexities that lead to armed conflict or natural hazards and their links to humanitarian practice and human rights responses. We look at which development approaches have increased the impacts of climate change and disasters and explore challenging questions on whether humanitarian practice does more good than harm? If the international human rights system is failing and how we can support refugees in the 21st century? 

Our practice-based learning includes the option of work placement with international humanitarian organisations and NGOs, field trips and assessments, such as writing a policy brief that gives you critical employability skills.

We’ve designed the course to cover a wide range of subjects within the fields of development and humanitarian practice. This means you can delve into not just your own area of expertise, but related topics that impact your work.

You can choose to specialise in:

  • forced migration, human rights and protection,
  • disasters, climate risks, shelter and development,
  • conflict transformation and resilience

Optional modules let you tailor the course content to fit your goals. Whatever areas you choose to focus on, you’ll develop a combination of theoretical insight and practical knowledge.
