Course Overview

Our Postgraduate Diploma in International Development and Social Anthropology will be of particular interest to anyone wishing to study global development, policy and practice, and their local impacts from an anthropological perspective. It will help you to understand issues, processes, and institutions central to global poverty, inequality and development, and to apply anthropological theories and methods to the field of international development. The program provides a solid base for those planning a career in development agencies, the non-governmental sector, and other international organizations, and for those working in such institutions who wish to take a larger role in the direct provision of services or policy development. It is also relevant for people interested in policy research, journalism, and in undertaking advanced research in international development, anthropology, and related fields. The compulsory modules will improve your skills in evaluation and analysis, enabling you to participate critically in debates on the changing nature of the multilateral, bilateral, and non-governmental institutions designed to address development issues, the context in which they operate, and the constraints they face. You will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of thematic option modules that allow you to tailor your program according to your personal or career interests.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in social sciences or humanities. Other applicants will also be considered. Previous experience or study of development issues and/or social anthropology may be an advantage. An entrance task may be required.
