IDS Postgraduate Prospectus 2019

Abstract

Postgraduate studies have been central to IDS since its foundation in 1966 as the UK’s specialist institution for teaching and research on international development. Our teaching and learning is shaped by our distinctive ‘engaged excellence’ approach. This means working in partnership with those at the heart of progressive change, including policymakers, civil society, activists and practitioners, to produce and mobilise rigorous and operationally relevant research and evidence.

Our courses are designed to connect cutting-edge research with policy and practice, and IDS’ teaching and learning is embedded in our efforts to contribute to global transformations that will reduce inequalities, accelerate sustainability and build inclusive and secure societies.
