The MA takes one year; while the PhD is a three-to-five year program

We aim to:

  • Build students' academic knowledge, research skills and critical thinking on international development studies

  • Promote a multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary approach to international development studies that links theory to praxis

  • Support the development of students' careers through helping build their relationships with networks of academics, organizations and practitioners working locally, regionally and internationally

  • Enable students to gain practical experience in development through internships, field visits, and projects based in the community.
