Overview
This Education and International Development programme at the University College London (UCL) provides students with the opportunity to develop a critical understanding of key aspects of theory, policy and practice in relation to education and international development, and skills and knowledge in research methods and analysis. Students benefit from being taught by renowned researchers of education and international development, as well as international guest speakers.
There will be opportunities for students to be introduced to a number of key international development organisations involved in education and learn more about the nature of their work, as well as to find out about professional development opportunities.
In previous years, students have organised career development events and benefited from volunteering opportunities via the Students' Union UCL Volunteering Service.
