Contents
Introduction to the programme structure The programme comprises a mixture of compulsory and optional Units (or modules), addressing a mix of international development related issues. These units are delivered at specific times throughout the academic year.
The full-time taught programme is organised in two semesters (autumn and spring).
* The first semester (typically October to January) uses a relatively rigid curriculum to explore a core set of concepts and ideas about development that is capable of accommodating multiple perspectives.
* The second semester (typically February to June) then challenges students to apply this core understanding to contemporary issues and specialist fields of development of their own choosing.
* Finally, each student prepares a dissertation that is completed during the final three months of the programme (typically July to September). This requires students to draw on core ideas in undertaking a more sustained piece of research on a question that they themselves identify.
