Program Overview
Overview
Our master's in International Development and Education uses a multidisciplinary approach to international development. It considers contemporary global change through various perspectives, including:
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) run through the modules. This provides a contemporary stance on where the world stands today at building a better world for people and our planet by 2030. You'll gain an understanding of and explore current debates around how education contributes to the development process.
Learning through case studies will cultivate your ability to think critically about development issues. You'll explore data using secondary sources. You'll also carry out your own research study through our unique placement module. This extends your learning into the field of development and education. This hands-on experience is an opportunity to co-create and co-develop impactful change.
The lecturers on this master's in International Development and Education are experts in the field. They advise on policy around global challenges. The research carried out here at Newcastle University around development is world leading.
