PhD (IDD, University of Birmingham)
Training Provider: University of Birmingham
School/Institute/Dept./Centre: International Development Department (IDD)
Studying for a doctorate with IDD means being part of an active research and practitioner community that will support you in accomplishing your academic goals.

All students studying for a doctoral degree pursue their own original research, under the guidance of a supervisor.  This freedom is often attractive to people planning a career in academic or training institutions or who aim to work in policy planning units of public sector agencies.  Each student is assigned a supervisor and is also supported by two other academic staff members as co-supervisors.

Students are assigned their own study space and computer in the department.

PhD with Integrated Study in International Development
(IDD, University of Birmingham)
Training Provider: University of Birmingham
School/Institute/Dept./Centre: International Development Department (IDD)
Studying for a doctoral degree with IDD means being part of an active research and practitioner community that will support you in accomplishing your academic goals.

The Phd with Integrated Study has been developed to provide a new route to the internationally respected British PhD degree by incorporating subject knowledge, research training and the development of transferable skills  While the traditional PhD programme requires students to engage entirely in research training, culminating in the production of a thesis, the PhD with Integrated Study enables students to gain added value from taught, subject based modules.  The taught moduels allow students to broaden, as well as deepen, their subject knowledge at the same time as undertaking their own research and developing transferable professional skills in preparation for careers as professional educators, researchers or senior positions in public and private sector organisations.
