Inclusion

Any course that has a discernable focus on, or relevance to international development and humanitarian aid can be included in the directory. We welcome all courses ranging from short to degree level courses, held in any country. If you’re unsure please get in touch.

Terms of Inclusion

In order for this resource to serve its purpose as well as possible, the course details you provide must be maintained so as to be accurate, complete, and up to date. It is therefore the Training Providers responsibility, and in the interests of all those using the site, to assure the quality of their course entries. Our team is happy to assist you should you have any queries.

Email us from your organisation's email account to request institutional membership at: TheEditors@Studying-Development.org.

• Contact Details
  Please include the full contact details for your organisation, including name, address, email and telephone number.
  

• Your Logo
  The logo should ideally be 150 pixels wide and in .jpg or .png file format. If you don't have the right sizes and formats to hand, just send them anyway and we will convert them as needed.
  
  
• General Profile Text
  This is the your university profile or organisation's profile. We add General Profiles when setting up your account, and you will need to email us should you wish to change them later on. The profiles that you can edit directly are the departmental profiles for universities, and more specifically training-related information for other organisations.
  
  
• Membership Statement
  Please provide a short quotable statement about what you think of the Studying Development initiative, and why you chose to add your courses to the directory.
