MA Development Economics
University of East Anglia: School of International Development

The study of poverty and development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before. International development agencies and academic institutions increasingly recognise that the study of economic development in a world that is experiencing rapid globalisation requires an approach that is analytically rigorous and, at the same, problem- and policy-oriented. Directed and taught by a team of experienced and internationally-respected development economists, this ESRC-recognised MA Development Economics provides advanced postgraduate level training opportunities both to recent graduates and mid-career professionals looking to update their analytical techniques and practical skills, or to acquire new ones. This course emphasises the development of research skills that are essential, not only for further study in the field of development economics, but also in practical development work, preparing students for employment with government ministries, national and international development agencies, NGOs, and the private sector.  

Applicants should have a first degree in either economics or joint economics. International applicants should have an English language score of at least 6.5 on the British Council IELTS test (6.0 in all components)
