We are living in an increasingly complex, often contradictory,
fast changing world dominated by the climate emergency, the
global cost of living crises and conflicts. Globalisation is
creating new relationships between economies, societies and
environments and this holds attendant promises and risks. To
untangle and make sense of these complex relationships we need
to ensure that people are trained to identify, analyse and
engage with systems approaches, interdisciplinary perspectives
and complicated and shifting policy environments.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Global Development Challenges,
delivered online, equips students with the knowledge and
analytical tools to make a contribution to a future shaped by
issues that cut across the traditions of science, medicine and
the social sciences. The Certificate draws upon a range of
approaches and perspectives on global issues to deliver a
curriculum that is highly interdisciplinary, challenging and
cutting edge in context, delivery and scope.
The programme includes courses designed to enhance knowledge and
skills of students at all stages of their careers by examining
global inequity from multiple perspectives. It examines
concepts, major contemporary debates in the field of development
policymaking and regional experiences through a series of case
studies. Complementing other themes addressed in the course, the
programme also affords students the opportunity to write
research papers on topics of particular interest.
