International Development Department (IDD), University of Birmingham

IDD is committed to encouraging new thinking in the fields of development and public management. Studying for a degree by research with IDD means being part of an active research and practitioner community that will support you in accomplishing your academic goals. All students studying for a research degree pursue their own original research under the guidance of a supervisor and the support of two other academic staff members as co-supervisors. This freedom is often attractive to people planning a career in academic or training institutions or who aim to work in policy planning units of public sector agencies.
