The questions were designed to make us explore the town. As we worked through the pamphlet we discovered stories from the industrialisation of the town. Getting slightly lost in the streets, we uncovered the life of Sir Titus Salt and his model village.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Championing welfare among his workers Sir Titus Salt built a hospital, school, and a park among many other things. An investigation of the Salts Mill also unveiled a short documentary of the village&#8217;<\/span>s<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> construction, as well as some great food!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The impact on our Global Development studies<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There were direct benefits of this trip to our Global Development studies. For example, it linked in with the problem based learning (PBL) industrialisation problem week. This meant we could bring our knowledge from the trip into our discussions. However, there were broader benefits that came from the trip<\/span> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are so many theories and discussions that exist in development. But getting to visit Saltaire allowed us to see the stories and processes behind the industrialisation of the village. It is so easy to get lost in theoretical debates, but getting out of the classroom let us focus on seeing the development around us.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The trip also demonstrated how complex and multidimensional development is. It showed that development happens everywhere and how development is more than just foreign aid budgets.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What we learnt<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saltaire was a purposefully built village that was made to develop a workforce. <\/span>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he model village truly demonstrated how there are multiple aspects to consider when developing a village.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The trip demonstrated that development is multidimensional and cannot simply be boiled down to economic improvement. There are many factors that have to be addressed and considered when working in the development field. Going to Saltaire very clearly broke down the separate factors to consider &#8211; these include welfare provision, housing, access to services (such as schooling and healthcare), as well as the more traditional economic measures.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What offer holders can look forward to<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/courses\/ba-global-development\/\">BA Global Development<\/a> degree has a small cohort. Offer holders can look forward to what often becomes a tight-knit group of students. From a personal perspective, working <\/span>in <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">such a small group has meant that I have <\/span>made lots of friends.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I think this is something that can be quite comforting for new students<\/span>. U<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">niversity can be a daunting experience, particularly when you feel you\u2019re lost in the crowd. Having people that you know the name of and can sit with in lectures can help you feel<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">more comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can also look forward to an environment where you actively learn. You&#8217;ll go on trips, work through problem-based learning, and regularly have case study-focused work <\/span>that <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">really lets<\/span> you<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explore and study for yoursel<\/span>f<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> rather than regurgitat<\/span>ing<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> what <\/span>you<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have been taught by the lecturer. Honestly, getting to lead my own learning is what drew me to study at York.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more student stories about <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/study\/politics\/global-development\/\">studying Global Development at York<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi! I\u2019m Isla and I study Global Development at the University of York. I wanted to let you know what it\u2019s like to study this degree at York. One of my favourite things about the degree is that it has a small cohort, this means we all know each other very well and it can make trips and group work super fun. Going on trips can be a really exciting part of the university experience, but we also learn useful things to implement within our work. Saltaire is a small village, and it is the first trip of the global development cohort. In my blog I\u2019m going to talk about my experience of the trip as well as it\u2019s wider impact on our degree and what offer holders can look forward to when studying global development at
