The International Development Management MSc at the University of Westminster is designed for aspiring professionals ready to tackle global challenges in socioeconomic development. You will gain the theoretical knowledge and practical tools to design, implement, and manage effective development interventions, focusing on public policy issues in areas like finance, trade, sustainable development, and urban planning. This postgraduate Master's degree is ideal for individuals seeking to understand why some initiatives succeed while others fail, preparing you to engage constructively with global development stakeholders and build inclusive, deliverable outcomes.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, you will explore a wide range of public policy issues through eight core modules and one optional module, allowing you to tailor your studies to your interests and career aspirations. You will learn to craft compelling funding proposals and conduct in-depth research and analysis on practical development issues, potentially focusing on regions like the Philippines, Colombia, or Ghana. You will graduate with the expertise to pursue careers in international organisations, NGOs, or government development agencies, equipped with skills in project management and a deep understanding of development economics and policy.
