About Global Development Mres in Queen Mary University of London

This MRes follows the same path as the MA in Global Development. In addition, you will cover core modules in research design, qualitative and quantitative methods. You will share these modules with students from King’s College London and Imperial College, as part of the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP).

You will be encouraged to challenge the common use of Western historical experiences and categories. You will reconsider the diversity of populations, economies, urban centres, and governance practices in the Global South on their own terms – and in so doing, step outside the conventional lenses of mainstream development theory and the international policies they inform.

Your studies will encourage you to examine these realities in light of the contrasts and continuities between the Global North and South and critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of different theoretical approaches to studying development futures.

You will be able to extend your understanding of these topics through an optional field trip to Mumbai or Malaysia, where you can develop your research skills and experiences by undertaking an independent research project and fieldwork. This will be supported by research training as well as one-to-one tailored supervision from experienced researchers.

This programme also offers students the opportunity to undertake an unpaid internship with London International Development Centre (LIDC) while studying. LIDC will take on up to 4 Masters students as interns per year. MA.
