    International Development is a field that aims to tackle pressing global issues, such as poverty, inequality, conflict, and environmental sustainability.

    Throughout the program, you'll gain insights into economic theories and policies that influence growth, poverty alleviation, and income distribution in developing nations. You'll also explore how political institutions, public policies, and power dynamics impact developmental outcomes. The curriculum covers additional topics such as environmental sustainability, project management, and sociology.

    Upon graduating with an International Development degree, you'll have access to diverse career opportunities across various sectors, including government, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academia, and the private sector.

    The comprehensive knowledge and skills you acquire in this field will prepare you to make a significant impact on the lives of people in developing countries.

    Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
