MPA International Development - MPA/ID
(Harvard University) Training Provider: Harvard University School/Institute/Dept./Centre: Kennedy School of Government (KSG) The Master in Public Administration in International Development (MPA/ID) is designed to prepare the next generation of leaders in international development. It is an economics-centered, multi-disciplinary program, combining rigorous training in analytical and quantitative methods with an emphasis on policy and practice. Each academic year, a class of about 65 students enrolls in this selective program. Geared to the future development practitioner rather than the future scholar or teacher, the MPA/ID is taught with intense rigor and quality. Both U.S. and international candidates are considered for admission. Applicants must demonstrate competence in economics and quantitative analysis and the potential for leadership in international development. Although the MPA/ID program occasionally accepts applicants directly from undergraduate colleges and universities, most admitted candidates have between three and five years of work experience in government, central and regional banks, international development institutions, non-governmental organizations, or private businesses. By creating this program, the Kennedy School has established a new career path towards leadership positions in international development. Existing programs emphasize either high-level technical training (as in master's and PhD programs in economics) or professional training (as in master's programs in international affairs or public administration). The MPA/ID combines the two approaches. Our students graduate with the analytical and technical skills that one expects of economics PhD students, as well as deep immersion in the problems and institutional realities of developing countries that excellence in this field requires.

The Graduate Programme expects applicants to be graduates with work or volunteer experience in international development, generally in the non-profit or governmental sector. MAIDS is an international programme, taught in English to students of any nationality. The programme particularly encourages applications from citizens and residents of Greater Mekong Subregion countries.  MSc Development Studies
(School of Oriental & African Studies) Training Provider: School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS) School/Institute/Dept./Centre: Department of Development Studies Development Studies is a dynamic field concerned with processes of change in the South - social and economic, political and cultural - and the major policy challenges they present to efforts to overcome poverty and insecurity in the world today. This MSc is designed to provide a solid interdisciplinary social science formation in development theory and practice and to develop students’ capacities for independent and critical analysis. The aim is to equip students with a wide intellectual grounding and interdisciplinary competence in development issues. This will enable them to make their own analyses and judgements in developmental contexts, and in relation to developmental interventions. This emphasis on transferable analytical skills has been of great benefit to the many graduates of the MSc programmes at SOAS who have returned to, or taken up, professional careers in development in international organisations, government agencies and non-government organisations.
