Guidelines for interpreting programme regulations

Full-year programme. Students take courses to the value of three full units and a dissertation as shown.

Students who choose to concentrate their electives and dissertation in a certain topic area may elect to have a specialism in "African Development,” “Population Studies,” or “Applied Development Economics” attached to their degree certificate and transcript. To obtain the specialism indication, students must meet the criteria below.

African Development: students must take DV418 and DV435, and their dissertation topic must be approved as being appropriate for this specialism.

Population Studies: students must take DV444 and DV456, and their dissertation topic must be approved as being appropriate for this specialism.

Applied Development Economics: enrolment capacity is limited and may be based on performance on a pre-quiz which will enable students to take at least two of DV490, DV491, DV492, and their dissertation topic must be approved as being appropriate for this specialism.

If no such election is made, the degree certificate will state “International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies” without further specification.

Please note that places are limited on some optional courses. Admission onto any particular course is not guaranteed and may be subject to timetabling constraints and/or students meeting specific prerequisite requirements.
