Re-imagining Humanitarian Responses to Displacement (010GRS)

30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll explore new ideas about how the world responds to displacement.

First, you’ll question how powerful global institutions and governments react to crisis, assessing the limits of these ‘global responses’. You’ll then examine ‘new’ actors and models which respond to mass displacement. Finally, you’ll put your learning into practice.

You’ll develop skills in:

• design thinking
• applying your knowledge of current responses to rethink how resources reach displaced populations
• identifying what’s needed to drive change in global displacement responses.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 30 hours of contact time and about 270 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
