MA Development and Emergency Practice

MA Development and Emergency Practice

The MA Development and Emergency Practice (DEP) course provides a unique academic setting for the study of international development, conflict, disaster management, urbanisation, humanitarianism and human rights. With its emphasis on practice, the course offers students the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes in the rapidly changing fields of development and emergencies.

The programme is targeted at those with, or seeking, careers in NGOs, bilateral or multilateral humanitarian, development and human rights agencies, or governmental, research and corporate organisations. Many graduates are able to secure senior positions. The course is an ideal platform for you to develop your career in, or move into, international development and humanitarian work.

Apart from a generic MA degree in development and emergencies, we also offer three sub-specialisations namely:

1) Human Rights, Development and Emergencies

2) Disasters, Risks, Shelter and Development

3) Conflict and Humanitarian Action

The MA DEP course and its sub-specialisations have a strong focus on practice. We welcome students to this post graduate course from all academic backgrounds, who have an interest in developing themselves as development and emergency professionals.
