Global Humanitarian Studies BSc
In 2020, we welcomed our first cohort of undergraduate students onto the new Global Humanitarian Studies BSc programme, which was developed with industry partners to help professionalise the sector. This exciting multidisciplinary programme aims to educate and train future generations of humanitarian leaders in the theory and practice of humanitarian action.
In the degree programme, students learn about the political, historical and development context, but also gain an understanding of the emergence, impacts and response to humanitarian crises. The critical and analytical research skills they acquire, grounded in practice, will equip them to anticipate evolving humanitarian threats and manage widening vulnerability and crisis response.

This first masterclass was delivered in conjunction with Institute of Energy Research and Training, University of Jammu; Geology for Global Development, UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction and UCL Global Engagement, and was comprised of talks and interactive workshop sessions.
