The virtual open day will begin at 12noon BST with a presentation by Professor Peter Sammonds, followed by a questions and answers session, which will run until 2.00pm. Everyone who is thinking of studying the BSc programme with us is welcome, but you do need to register using the link above to take part.
About the programme
Unique in the UK, this multidisciplinary programme aims to educate and train future generations of humanitarian leaders in the theory and practice of humanitarian action. Not only will you learn about the political, historical and development context, you will also gain an understanding of the emergence, impacts and response to humanitarian crises. The critical and analytical research skills you will acquire, grounded in practice, will equip you to anticipate evolving humanitarian threats and manage widening vulnerability and crisis response.
