Global Development (Gender) SOAS University of London

Overview

Applicants of the Global Development (Gender) programme offered at SOAS University of London apply for MSc Global Development but can decide to follow the Gender Pathway upon arrival by choosing the combination of modules required. We welcome applications from those who have worked in a broad field of development, but also from students without relevant work experience, who can demonstrate a strong interest in: understanding development theories, processes, and practices through a gendered lens; and exploring the interplays between gender, racial, and other intersectional inequalities and the broader Global Development process.
