Program Overview

Humber’s Bachelor of International Development degree program is an interdisciplinary program that provides you with a solid theoretical foundation in sustainable international development studies and its related disciplines, as well as professional and technical skills in development management. The program is designed specifically to bridge the gap between theory and practice by building hands-on project management skills and capabilities. The program fosters a comparative understanding of developed and developing countries - countries of the global North and South - through directed study, analytical research and opportunities to travel that provide cross-cultural learning experiences.

Your core courses, in which you’ll develop professional competencies, include four streams: international development studies, supplementary disciplines, management skills and research skills.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the program, a graduate will:

  • Describe and critically evaluate the values, key theoretical approaches and concepts in international development.
  • Demonstrate critical thinking in relation to international development policy and practice.
  • Analyze international development through a variety of disciplinary lenses.
  • Examine the roles and responsibilities of various actors within the field of international development.
  • Design, plan, implement and evaluate international development projects using a variety of methodologies.
  • Examine and apply various qualitative and quantitative research methods and assess the appropriateness of their use.
  • Implement effective management of key financial, information and other resources associated with international development projects.
  • Exercise initiative, personal responsibility and accountability in personal, professional and group contexts related to international development.
  • Analyze cross-cutting themes of gender and environmental sustainability and their effects on international development projects.
  • Communicate and work effectively in diverse environments.
  • Critically analyze the practical and ethical implications of doing international development work across borders and cultures.
  • Critically examine political, social and economic behaviours of various societies and their impact on sustainable international development.

Work Placement

  • The 14-week/420-hour work placement is from May to August following Semester 6. A placement advisor will support your efforts to find a position that fits your academic and career goals. Your placement will give you the opportunity to explore the field of international development, as well as gain the hands-on, real-world experience that employers value.  We will work with employers and our partners to help you identify the best opportunities to pursue.

Entrance Awards & Scholarships

2025 President's International Entrance Award

International Entrance Scholarships

To support students starting their educational journey at Humber, as of April 14, 2025, international applicants currently living outside of Canada who do not yet have a Humber DLI study permit are eligible for consideration for the President’s International Entrance Award. 

International students who apply to an eligible full-time Humber program starting in Fall 2025 or Winter 2026, accept their offer of admission and submit their study permit application to IRCC between April 14 and June 13, 2025, may receive a $2,000 bursary. 


To receive and retain the award, applicants must: 

  • Accept an offer of admission to a full-time program at Humber (not including the English for Academic Purposes program)?before June 13, 2025. The offer must be for a program starting in Fall 2025 or Winter 2026. Applicants with a prior Fall 2025 or Winter 2026 application or 2025 PAL, issued before April 14, 2025, will not be considered. 
  • Apply for a study permit before June 13, 2025. This will be confirmed by Humber through IRCC’s Letter of Acceptance (LOA) verification process. 
  • Pay the $3,000 deposit by the due date on the LOA. 
  • Pay the remaining program and ancillary fees by the due date on the LOA. 
  • Register and remain enrolled as a full-time international student paying international fees past the withdrawal deadline (the 10th day of classes) for the awarded start term. 
  • Not receive a refund of the fees paid for the awarded start term. 


Please Note:

  • If these conditions are not met, the award will be revoked. 
  • The award is granted only once per student across the two eligible start terms (Fall 2025, Winter 2026). 
  • The award is non-refundable. If the award results in an overpayment of fees, the excess funds will be automatically applied towards fees for the next semester.

New students starting their Diploma and/or Advanced Diploma studies are eligible for consideration for an international entrance scholarship at Humber. This scholarship offers a CAD 2,000 reduction in tuition fees during the first two semesters of study (CAD 1,000 per semester).


Further details of this scholarship are:

  1. Humber may consider high school students who have demonstrated academic excellence for the international entrance scholarship, but due to the limited number of scholarships available, only those with the highest GPA (Grade Point Average) will be awarded. Humber's admissions team will calculate the GPA based on the high school transcripts received during the admissions assessment process. No separate application is required for the International Entrance Scholarship, as the awards are automatically granted to eligible candidates after they commence their studies. 
  2. A total of 20 scholarships will be awarded to new students starting in September, 15 scholarships will be awarded to new students starting in January, and 5 scholarships will be awarded to new students starting in May. Per every starting semester, each recipient must come from a different country. In other words, no more than one student from any single country may receive the award within the same starting semester. 
  3. The award will be applied towards the student's MyHumber account as a credit after the 10th day of classes in two instalments of CAD 1,000. Both payments will be applied to the second semester. The scholarship recipient is still required to pay the full amount for the first semester. 
  4. Only successful recipients will be notified after the Day 10 of their 1st-semester studies.
