Use geography: careers in international development

Careers in international development focus on improving global well-being and supporting sustainable progress around the world. The sector covers a wide range of issues, including health, education, human rights, gender equality, economic development, governance, disaster response and the environment.

Opportunities exist across national governments, international organisations such as the UN and World Bank, NGOs, charities, and community-based organisations, with roles in programme delivery, policy, research, advocacy, and capacity building. Examples of job roles include programme officer, policy analyst or monitoring and evaluation specialist.

In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from geography professionals working in international development, who will share real world insights, personal career journeys, and practical advice to help you take your first steps into this sector.

Connect with geographers from a wide range of industries through our Use geography webinar series, opening your eyes to the diverse and unexpected career paths your degree can lead to.
