Education, Health Promotion and International Development MA

The MA Education, Health Promotion and International Development programme offers you the opportunity to extend and deepen your understanding of concepts, theories and issues related to international development, education and sustainable ways of promoting health, wellbeing and social justice.

This master’s degree will enable you to:

• identify key concepts and issues in education, health promotion and international development
• develop the knowledge and skills to write project proposals and plans to implement and evaluate health promotion initiatives
• reflect on research, analysis, policy and practice in relation to education and health promotion in low- and middle-income countries
• critically review arguments, advance analysis and undertake research on education, international development and the promotion of health and wellbeing.

As well as completing a range of taught modules, you will conduct an original small scale research study (written up as a dissertation), through which you develop skills in research, analysis and critical thinking, as well as an in-depth understanding of a key education and international development issue.

You will benefit from being taught by researchers working in education and international development. You will also meet and study alongside a diverse student group: our alumni are from more than 80 countries. In previous years, students have organised career development events and benefited from volunteering opportunities via the Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service.

The programme can be taken on campus, online (distance), or a combination of both (mixed mode). Please select the relevant mode of study at point of application. Note that distance and mixed mode options are not available to students applying for a student visa.
