Global Challenges and Innovations (AF002A)

15 credits, Level 4

Autumn teaching

This module introduces you to key global challenges, and innovative responses to them.

You’ll get an in-depth insight from experts on each theme (such as global health). You’ll explore how problems are defined and measured by different development actors, often in reference to international development frameworks (such as SDGs).

As a group, we think through creative responses – including policy, technical, social and activist innovations – within specific geographical contexts.

The module is designed with a critical lens on development policy and practice, while giving you the tools to generate positive change.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

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