Governance and Development Management (International)
International Development Department (IDD), University of Birmingham

Our Governance and Development Management (International) programme explores the long debate about the extent to which the State can act as an agent of development, between those who believe the public sector’s role should be reduced and those who assert that government has a critical role to play. You will examine: forms of governance and relations between state and non-state actors; key concepts in public sector management; practical tools for policy formulation; and implementation and problem-solving skills in development management.

Entry requirements

Candidates should have a good Honours degree, or equivalent from an approved university (or an equivalent professional qualification in a related field). Degrees from all disciplines are considered. A candidate’s work experience is also taken into consideration. Applicants whose previous experience has not fully prepared them for an intensive one-year Masters programme may opt to undertake a course of study beginning with a one-year Graduate Diploma in International Development with English. Upon successful completion of this year, these students can then enrol upon one of IDD’s Masters programmes.
