The program offered by the Oxford Brookes University provides a new approach to studying infrastructure planning and delivery and is designed to make the step change needed to meet the sustainability challenges of the 21st century. On this programme you will engage with new and innovative thinking on infrastructure, responding to the imperatives of rapidly growing cities to achieve poverty alleviation, ecological sustainability and local economic growth within increasingly complex and uncertain environments.Ê Ê
The core teaching on governance, human development, ecological sustainability, finance and programme/project planning offers a unique combination of theoretical perspectives and practical skills delivered by an inter-disciplinary team of academics and practitioners. This prepares participants to engage with more holistic approaches to decision making and problem solving to deliver infrastructure that provides for both inclusive and sustainable development.
The course is targeted at those with, or seeking a career in government, the private sector, NGOs or multilateral and bilateral development agencies working in the field of infrastructure planning and international development.
