Ne öğreneceğim?
**Overview**Our world is facing immense challenges, from climate change to political polarisation and a widening gap between the haves and the have-nots. On our BA in Global Development with Economics, you'll explore big questions like: Why are some countries richer than others? Who wins and who loses from globalisation? And which is more effective at reducing poverty-aid or trade? This innovative course blends a strong interdisciplinary foundation with a specialist economics lens. You’ll study contemporary issues from an economics perspective – including poverty, exclusion, deprivation, foreign aid, the environment, trade, and globalisation. You’ll examine the root causes of economic and social inequality and explore the policies and processes that can help reduce them. You’ll develop practical skills in economic methods and statistics, master data analysis techniques, and gain hands-on experience with specialist statistical software. This dynamic course provides a broad foundation in key development issues, organisations, and practices, combining economic insights with perspectives from across the social sciences - including anthropology, environmental sciences, geography, media, and politics. You'll have the opportunity to explore different world regions and tailor your studies to your evolving interests. You’ll also have the exciting option of completing an 8-to-10-week work placement with a development organisation. In previous years, students have done placements in South Africa, Uganda, Jordan, Malaysia, and the UK. By studying with us, you’ll join our close-knit academic community, made up of experts from across multiple disciplines, all housed within the School of Global Development.
