The MA Global Governance and Sustainable Development offers both full time and part time modes, with the latter running over 2 years. Four core plus two optional modulels are completed over the Autumn and Spring terms followed by a Dissertation period during the Summer.
You will attend lecture, seminars, workshops and tutorials, where you’ll deepen your theoretical knowledge, work on activities and case studies, and develop your analytical and problem-solving skills. You will do research, produce written reports, give presentations and take part in group discussions and group work, supplementing all this with your own independent study. The use of summative assessment at various stages of the programme will encourage students to consolidate their understanding. Some assessment components will involve group work.
Each module is worth 20 credits, with the exception of the Dissertation and Work Integrated Learning modules, which are worth 60 credits each. The Work Integrated Learning module may be selected as an alternative to the Dissertation, with prior approval.
Open Optional Module (20 Credits)
Students may select any available 20 credit module offered by the School of Law in order to tailor their programme towards their own personal interest. For some modules, programme coordinator approval is needed. Student should discuss with their programme coordinator the opportunities.
Not all optional modules maybe available each year, as they are dependent upon student numbers and interest.
