BSc (Hons) International Development

Our BSc International Development degree is the first undergraduate programme in Ireland to have a primary focus on international development. This course will help you understand key issues of development and deliver skills such as languages, research techniques and project management. In your third year, you will have the opportunity to undertake a five-month work placement, this usually takes place with an overseas development agency based in Africa, Asia or Latin America.
Our students engage with major global issues from a development perspective. These issues include poverty, hunger and inequality, sustainability, international food policy, human rights, peace and conflict, gender studies, and climate change.
The course will give you the foundations necessary to work in the field of international development, whether with a non-governmental organisation, a state agency, an international organisation or within the private sector, or to advance to further study. A distinctive feature of this course is the five-month work placement with a development agency, usually based in Asia, Africa, or Latin America. This allows students to gain hands-on experience of working in international development, to develop their practical skills, and to experience other cultures and societies.
