Graduate taught
Our centre staff coordinates and runs a Master's programme which introduces students to a range of perspectives and approaches to global learning, global citizenship education and education for sustainable development:
Graduate research
Doctoral students in the centre have undertaken research on global issues and approaches covering a range of countries such as India, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Jamaica, South Korea, UAE, Greece, China and Japan as well as the UK.
DERC is always interested in hearing from prospective doctoral students particularly in the following areas:
- Impact of global learning within formal education
- Contribution and role of policy-makers and practitioners to building awareness and understanding of international development and global issues in UK and elsewhere in the world
- How universities and colleges are interpreting global perspectives and internationalisation within their policies and practices
- Pedagogical approaches to delivering global learning, global citizenship education and education for sustainable development around the world.
Free online short courses
We are offering two three-week short courses that can work as continuing professional development (CPD) for educators or as an introduction for those interested in further study:
The courses are hosted by FutureLearn and run by DERC.
