The MPhil in Development Studies seeks to provide students with a critical and reflexive programme which encourages them to closely examine the role of the main development actors, institutions and policies and to ask who actually benefits from development interventions which are designed and implemented within global and national power structures. The emphasis on critical reflection in this MPhil privileges analytical approaches to development as opposed to more practice-based or vocational strategies.
The MPhil will offer students:

Knowledge of the individual disciplines relevant to development studies and a conceptual understanding of the need for interdisciplinary research.
Knowledge of a range of theories and methodologies from different fields in development with a particular focus on the application of theory to empirical data.
Engagement with a wide range of academic and policy debates in the field of international development and the ability to think about development beyond prescribed technical solutions.
