Global Development and Humanitarian Practice

Are you looking for a master’s programme that combines humanitarian practice, human rights, forced migration, development and conflict studies?

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.

Our students go on to work in humanitarian and development international organisations and NGOs.
