The Graduate Diploma Program is an interdisciplinary program comprising a core program of development analysis, practitioner skills, and policy-oriented courses in the field of International Development Studies. The IDS Graduate Program makes considerable use of the techniques and concepts of social science disciplines such as Economics, Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science to analyse and assess development problems, but also views the contributions of  History, Management, Geography, Philosophy, Religious Studies  and Modern Languages, among others, as important sources of explanations and understandings which advance our knowledge of international development. The IDS Program recognizes a significant number of approved, cross-listed courses in other University departments as creditable to its program.
 
The IDS Graduate Diploma Program of study will be useful to those wishing to pursue graduate-level studies, and wishing to obtain a graduate degree, with a view to employment in professional settings demanding knowledge of international development issues, analysis and practical skills. Such employment would include many  federal government offices (CIDA, Foreign Affairs, Industry, Trade), multilateral development agencies, crown and parastatal corporations, immigration services, non-governmental organizations, and professions such as teaching, journalism, development planning, public administration and business.
 
The IDS Graduate Diploma Program is offered to students with professional goals not requiring a masters degree, and to practicing professionals in business, non-governmental organizations and the civil service, at home or overseas,  who wish certificated, intensive professional upgrading at the graduate level in the area of international development, but who do not have the time to pursue a program of masters research and have no need of a masters degree in their professional goals.
