PhD in Development Studies
University of Cambridge · Cambridge, United Kingdom
About this programme
Studying for a PhD at the the Centre of Development Studies situates you in a community of diverse scholars who bring together the analytical rigour required of economists and other social scientists today, and the recognition that no important issue in development — poverty and inequality, population growth, the construction of the institutions of a market economy, war and human rights, democratisation — can be properly understood without an inter-disciplinary perspective. You can find out more about the wide range of research undertaken by current PhD students as well as by our academic staf
