Introduction

The MSc Global Development with Work Placement Year programme provides a solid interdisciplinary social science formation in development theory and practice and develops students’ capacities for independent and critical analysis.

Development Studies is a dynamic field concerned with processes of change in the South — social and economic, political and cultural — and the major policy challenges they present to efforts to overcome poverty and insecurity.

For your placement year, you will have the opportunity to take part in a full-time, 10–12 month work placement at an organisation of your choice.

  • SOAS is ranked 2nd in the world for Development Studies (QS World University Rankings 2023)
  • You will have the opportunity to take work placements as part of your degree, and we offer internships in the department and in partner organisations.

The MSc programme’s emphasis on transferable analytical skills has been of great benefit to the many graduates who have returned to, or taken up, professional careers in development in international organisations, government agencies and non-government organisations.

Students also benefit from the wide range of modules on offer, both within the Department and across the School, allowing them to create individualised interdisciplinary programmes.
