The University of York International Pathway College is part of the University of York, and offers pathway courses to prepare students for a bachelor’s or master’s degree.

By investigating how policy is made, from development to deployment, and identifying the challenges that lie in public organisations throughout developing countries, students will be able to provide solutions that make a difference.

From leadership and strategy to performance and human resources, this course will help students build a set of highly sought-after skills that will prepare students for managerial roles in the developing world. The graduates have gone on to work for development charities, parliament and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as well as many other international organisations, both public and private.

Students will be taught by academics at the forefront of research across a number of political areas such as conflict, security and development, political economy, international politics, political theory and public policy.
