Course summary

Explore some of the world's most pressing international development challenges such as security, environment and post-conflict reconstruction. Our MSc aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to work in a variety of sectors including charity, NGO, local government, travel, manufacturing or policy. Why choose this course?

  • Explore core international development challenges in the Global South
  • Conduct an independent research project in the field
  • Critically engage with methods, sources, and data, many of which are at the cutting edge of the discipline
  • Benefit from our long-standing alumni network and visiting speaker series
  • Develop practical solutions to real-world challenges
Drawing on Keele's long-standing expertise in international relations, sustainability, the environment, conflict, security and post-conflict reconstruction, the programme explores the most pressing contemporary challenges including global inequality, environmental change, reconstruction and development after conflict as well as the global political problems that shape all issues of global inequality. Our MSc differs from other programmes in the UK and internationally because of its focus on the environmental and security aspects of international development. It provides a distinctive focus on the connections between development and global environmental change and challenges; as well as the connections between development, conflict and security transnationally and in different areas of the world. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
