The programme's core modules introduce students to key debates that have shaped thinking on international poverty and development, and will equip students with knowledge of the conceptual and theoretical bases of development. This will improve students skills of evaluation and analysis, enabling students to participate critically in debates on the changing nature of the multilateral, bilateral and non-governmental institutions designed to address development issues, the context in which they operate and the constraints they face. In the Master's degree in International Development at Birkbeck, University of London, students will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of thematic option modules, allowing students to tailor the programme according to their personal or career interests.
In addition, students will develop transferable skills including team-working, written and oral communication, and qualitative and quantitative dataanalysis.
