I took the International Development course at Stanmore School of Business to improve my understanding of global development issues and to enhance my career prospects. The course was really helpful in achieving my learning goals, especially the modules on economic development and global governance. I gained practical skills in analyzing development data and designing effective development programs. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and the instructor was knowledgeable and responsive. One thing that I found particularly useful was the group project on designing a development program for a fictional country - it was a great way to apply the concepts we learned in class. Overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others, although I think it could be improved with more interactive elements and real-world examples.

I enrolled in the International Development course at Stanmore School of Business to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the development landscape in the Middle East and North Africa. The course was detailed and informative, with a focus on the key challenges and opportunities facing the region. I appreciated the instructor's use of real-world examples and case studies, which helped to illustrate the complex relationships between economic, social, and political factors. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructor was available to answer questions and provide feedback. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more nuanced discussions on the role of technology and innovation in development, but overall, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others interested in development issues in the region.
