During this International Development degree, you will study the development process in middle-income countries and the changing global economy. You will graduate with a deep understanding of how such middle income countries, or ‘emerging economies’, are grappling with challenges related to economic, social, and political development.
“Studying International Development at King’s allows me to learn about a diverse range of topics within a single course. Having a seminar for each lecture really helps me to understand the course content and develop my own ideas on it. The ability to complete a year abroad was also a key element for me, with a wide range of choices due to King’s’ many partner universities around the world.”
