Are you looking for a master’s programme that combines humanitarian practice, human rights, forced migration, development and conflict studies?
Working with our team of experts and practitioners you can study the political complexities that lead to humanitarian crises, and explore challenging questions about development and humanitarian response, such as whether humanitarian practice does more good than harm? If the international human rights system is failing and how we can support refugees in the 21st century?
You'll also learn real-world skills: our practice-based learning includes the option of work placement with international humanitarian organisations and NGOs, field trips and assessments, such as writing a policy brief that gives you critical employability skills.
Our students go on to work in humanitarian and development international organisations, NGOs, and governmental bodies around the world.
