This MSc focuses on the rigorous quantitative and qualitative assessment of public policies and development programmes. The curriculum provides advanced training in applied microeconomics and econometric methods, enabling students to design and implement high-quality impact evaluations. The primary objective is to equip participants with the analytical tools necessary to measure the effectiveness of interventions and support evidence-based decision-making in international development contexts.
The programme places strong emphasis on statistical techniques and counterfactual analysis, including randomized control trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental methods such as regression discontinuity design, instrumental variables, and difference-in-differences. Students gain hands-on experience with Stata software and econometric analysis of cross-sectional and time-series data.
Operated by the School of Global Development at UEA, the course combines theoretical frameworks with practical applications through three core modules: Welfare and Evaluation in Development (theoretical frameworks, cost-benefit analysis, sectoral applications), Applied Methods for Impact Evaluation (quantitative and qualitative methods), and Econometric Methods for Development (econometric theory and practice). Optional modules allow specialization in areas such as microeconomics of development, agricultural economics, health and nutrition, climate change policy, and sustainable development.
The programme includes a mandatory two-week pre-sessional statistics course and is designed for students intending to work as impact evaluation analysts, monitoring and evaluation officers, or researchers within international organizations, government agencies, NGOs, and development consultancies.

The MSc Policy, Behaviour and Data for Global Development focuses on the intersection of public policy analysis, behavioral science, and data analytics within the context of international development. The programme addresses the role of human behavior in policy outcomes, moving beyond traditional economic models to incorporate psychological and sociological insights. The primary objective is to train students to design, implement, and evaluate policies that account for cognitive biases and social norms
The curriculum provides rigorous training in quantitative methods, emphasizing the use of big data and evidence-based techniques for decision-making. A key component of the course is the application of behavioral insight, often referred to as ‘nudging’, to address complex challenges such as climate adaptation, public health compliance, and financial inclusion. Students learn to handle large datasets to identify trends and inform strategic planning.
Hosted by the School of Global Development, the course combines theoretical study with practical application. It is designed for professionals and graduates aiming for careers as policy analysts, data specialists, or members of behavioral insights units within governments, international organisations, and non-governmental bodies.

This MPhil offers an intensive, interdisciplinary course providing students with a critical and analytical understanding of development processes, institutions, actors, and interests. The program emphasizes theoretical depth and critical reflection on the historical, political, and economic dimensions of development, moving beyond practice-based approaches to question fundamental assumptions about progress, inequality, and global governance. It is particularly suited for those seeking academic rigor in development thinking or preparing for doctoral research.
The curriculum is anchored by a compulsory core paper, Intellectual Traditions of Development, which examines major theoretical and methodological approaches covering themes such as capitalism, race, the role of the state, technology, financialisation, environment, agrarian transformation, and decolonisation. Students then select two optional papers from 6-8 available modules (varying annually) offering specialized deep dives into themes introduced in the core paper. These may cover topics related to political economy, institutions, justice, and specific regional or thematic development issues.
The program culminates in a substantial dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words, allowing students to apply theoretical frameworks to a specific development issue. This combination of critical analysis and independent research ensures graduates develop a broad, incisive understanding of development suitable for careers in policy, international organizations, NGOs, or further academic study (PhD).
