DPhil by Research
ここではMA Development Studies (New for 2007)を例にとって紹介します。
MA Development Studies (New for 2007)
The complex challenges of global poverty and development are making ever greater demands on those working in aid agencies, governments, NGOs and policy and research institutes. Meeting these challenges calls for creative development professionals who can apply and integrate critical thinking and practical experience from a wide range of perspectives, and can be innovative in seeking meaningful solutions.
New for 2007, the one year MA in Development Studies provides a solid grounding in international development concepts, theories and approaches. Students are equipped with the analytical and practical skills they need to engage critically in development issues and debates from a interdisciplinary perspective, and to work across the intersections of development policy, research and practice.
Coming from diverse cultures and backgrounds and with a broad range of career histories, students who successfully complete the MA in Development Studies can expect to:
: Understand the main development theories, concepts and debates in their historical and contemporary context, and apply this knowledge in their professional work;
: Engage in an informed and critical way with professionals from diverse backgrounds concerned with development issues, in particular political science, economics, sociology and anthropology;
: Approach development problems with confidence and knowledge and have the ability to work collaboratively with others to identify solutions to global development challenges.
The MA programme is structured to provide coherence and integration with other masters programmes offered at IDS, allowing students to develop a degree of focus on a specific issue or theme. A transition is also possible between the MA and the two-year MPhil in Development Studies.
During the three terms there are two compulsory courses, three core courses which students may select, and one or two shorter options. These are taught through lectures, seminars and group tutorials. Students write either a 10,000 or 20,000 word dissertation under the supervision of an IDS faculty member. A range of Professional Development Skills workshops are also offered.
The IDS faculty are leading researchers in a number of development fields and the programme is designed so that students benefit from knowledge of the very latest research and research methodologies. IDS provides a small, close-knit and supportive learning environment that encourages sharing of diverse perspectives, ideologies, disciplines and approaches to research.
