The MSc in International Development in the Americas offers an interdisciplinary grounding in the central themes of development theory, policy, and practice.
About this degree
This degree focuses on the analysis of contemporary challenges such as reducing economic and social inequalities, promoting inclusive economic growth, and achieving environmental justice. Students will learn to link theory and practice by examining concrete case studies throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
In this programme you will learn to think critically about development and actively consider the factors that enable and hinder efforts to build economically prospered, socially just, and environmentally sustainable societies. You will receive advanced training in theories of development and a strong introduction to social science methods and the principles of policy analysis.
This is an ideal option for people interested in understanding the economic, political, social, and environmental dimensions of development processes shaping societies in the Americas.
