International Development with a Year Abroad, BA Hons FullTime
International Development is an interdisciplinary course that explores why global inequalities persist and why development outcomes vary across countries. It shows that development is not simply economic growth, but a historically and politically shaped process influenced by colonial legacies, state capacity, global capitalism, and social structures. By engaging with theories such as modernisation, dependency, and the developmental state, the course highlights how power, institutions, and long-term structures shape both development and underdevelopment.
