This course will give you an in-depth understanding of global cultures and processes of social change. You'll be able to grasp your place in the world and gain the tools to make a difference.


This course is a 50/50 split between the two subject areas. What you learn in one subject complements and enhances what you learn in the other. This interdisciplinary approach will give you a deeper critical understanding of the global processes of development and change. You will learn to:


  • understand the key concepts shaping anthropological and developmental thinking
  • challenge simplistic understandings of what development is, who it is for and who does it
  • appreciate the causes of poverty and inequality from a global justice perspective
  • understand how development practitioners, policymakers, social movements and communities are responding to new challenges
  • to design creative and innovative alternatives to our existing systems.


You’ll learn from leading experts who influence debates on topics such as gender relations, migration, inequality, health and sustainability. You’ll study how people across the globe tackle contemporary issues – from climate change to racial discrimination, gender-based violence and human rights.


You'll graduate with a better understanding of development challenges and interventions that could create a more equal, just and sustainable global future. When you graduate, you’ll have the knowledge and skills for employment in areas such as:


  • NGOs and global development organisations
  • media
  • international research organisations
  • charities
  • journalism.
