The Centre of Development Studies provides a focus for students wishing to undertake an MPhil or PhD in the area of development. We provide interdisciplinary training where content and style have kept abreast with the changing reality of the developing world.
The MPhil in Development Studies has four core papers for 2019-20, and ten option papers which cover a wide spectrum of subjects within the field of Development Studies. PhD students delve into research methods, fieldwork, and supplementary courses and modules offered by the University.
The Cambridge Society for Social and Economic Development (CAMSED) seeks to “promote and constitute a space for the academic discussion of research and policies related to social and economic development, from a multidisciplinary perspective”. It organises regular seminars and conferences related to the field of Development Studies, and seeks to collaborate with similarly-motivated societies and individuals around the world.
