Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies

About This Programme

This program provides an in-depth understanding of the social, economic, and political factors that influence development at local, national, and global levels. Students examine issues such as poverty, governance, inequality, sustainable development, conflict resolution, and public policy formulation. Drawing from economics, sociology, political science, and environmental studies, the program equips graduates with the analytical and practical skills needed to design and implement development interventions. The degree prepares students for careers in NGOs, international development agencies, government ministries, community-based organizations, humanitarian institutions, and the United Nations system, with additional opportunities for postgraduate studies both in Zambia and abroad.
