Details Details
 

The MA in International Development (part-time) is a taught master programme that can be taken by either attending classroom modules part-time entirely by distance learning (on-campus attendance not required), or by a combination of both study modes. Learners who attend most modules in a classroom setting can complete the full programme in as little as two years, while distance learners typically take between 3-5 years (maximum) to complete all requirements.

The MA is designed to prepare participants for work in International Development in a community, local government, youth/adult education, or NGO setting. It offers learners an opportunity to explore contemporary theories of social change and development and to critically analyse development policies and practices. It builds skills especially in relation to critical reflection, research, leadership and working with groups and in the planning, management and evaluation of development projects.

It is aimed at advanced level participants who hold a primary degree or equivalent qualifications and who have experience of working in a development context in Ireland or in other countries in the Global North or South.  Particularly welcome are leaders, facilitators and managers of community development projects, government and development agency staff, people involved in pastoral ministry, researchers, development educators, volunteers and activists. This course is also relevant to academics in the countries of the Global South engaged in teaching and research and development.  Places are also retained for recent graduates who wish to study further before embarking on a career in development work.

Commences

The MA in International Development programme commences in September each year.

Part-time students are encouraged to commence at that time, but can enrol throughout the year based on module availability.
