Course summary
MSc Global Development (Migration, Mobility and Displacement) provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of one of the most pressing and politically charged issues in global development today: the movement of people. This pathway delves into the complex interplay between migration, development, and global justice, offering students the theoretical insights, practical skills, and critical perspectives needed to address these challenges on a global scale. Core Focus: Migration, Mobility and Displacement This course examines the interconnected nature of migration and development, focusing on how the movement of people contributes to economic, social, and political development, as seen in the growing significance of remittances, which now surpass official development aid in scale. It also examines the ways development interventions aim to address the "root causes" of irregular migration, particularly from the poorest regions, and the effectiveness of such strategies. Through this analysis, students develop a nuanced understanding of migration as both a driver of development and a response to structural inequalities and crises. Migration is at the centre of contemporary global debates on justice, rights, and security. By raising critical questions and encouraging innovative solutions, this MSc prepares graduates to lead in crafting responses that balance the interests of states with the rights and needs of migrants, fostering a more equitable and just global system.
