New: study online for Postgraduate Certificate in Global Development

The OU will soon be offering a new course through its award-winning FutureLearn online platform.

Starting in October 2020, the Postgraduate Certificate in Global Development Management is a course which will help students learn how to advocate for and bring about genuine social change.

You will be able to gain practical development management skills while studying at home, at work or in your own time. To help you get the most of the course, you will receive individual support from an experienced Open University tutor throughout your studies.

This certificate qualification can even count towards our new Masters in Global Development, also launching in 2020.
