The MSc Practising Sustainable Development (ICT4D specialism) brings together a community of future responsible leaders in the field of ICT4D. Participants come from all over the world, and from diverse professional and academic backgrounds.
 
To widen their outlook and optimise their career prospects, participants study both the broader context of development and sustainability as well as the growing specialist field of information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) within it. The course combines cutting-edge teaching by leading experts (incl. Tim Unwin, Katie Willis, Dorothea Kleine, David Simon, Yingqin Zheng and David Grimshaw) with rigorous training in research methods (quant. and qual., including GIS and participatory video) as well as project design, management and monitoring and evaluation tools. The emphasis is on participatory, sustainable, culturally-sensitive, locally relevant, gender-aware and inclusive approaches and appropriate technologies. Working together, learning takes place in small groups, in an intellectually exciting and friendly atmosphere with individual mentoring by faculty, fostering confident and responsible future leaders in the field.
