The Global Development Management program has been developed by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at The Open University.
This program focuses on how global development takes place, the people that undertake development and the relationships between them. You will explore the social, political and ethical dimensions of development in a variety of contexts and start to appreciate the complexity that is involved in resolving global development challenges.
This program is the first in a set of four that make up The Open University’s Postgraduate Certificate in Global Development Management. Together, the four programs offer you opportunities to examine the ways development is conventionally practised, identify new ways of encouraging development, and enhance your skills as a critically reflective practitioner.
