We’re a world-leading centre for research, teaching and practice, using critical analysis to create a fairer planet.
We work in a close-knit community on a beautiful campus and we’re based in Norwich, one of the UK’s most creative cities. There are no barriers between students and staff and everyone’s voice counts.
We take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of international development, whilst also offering our students the opportunity to specialise in one of a number of disciplinary perspectives on global challenges in development.
We equip people to act through practical skills and networks, as well as theories and concepts and we work on the ground, across the globe and in the UK.
Our excellence in teaching is reflected by our 'Gold' rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
