Collaborative PhD Program

he collaborative PhD program in International Development Studies (IDS) provides an

pportunity for advanced students to engage with interdisciplinary development theories

nd to conduct research on international development issues based on approaches of

elected academic disciplines. The PhD program in IDS is undertaken jointly with a

iscipline-based degree. Students enter IDS through a collaborating department with a

hD program. At present these include Sociology; Political Science; Population Medicine,

Geography; Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics; Economics; History; Engineering;

nvironmental Biology and Land Resource Science.ased on the experience of faculty advisors in key collaborating departments, the program

ocuses on issues such as international political economy, food security, environmental

ynamics and governance, gender inequality, rural development, long-term economic

hange, and other interdisciplinary cutting-edge topics in international development.

Admission Requirements

o be considered for admission, an applicant must have a recognized Bachelor's degree

nd a Master's degree in a relevant discipline or related interdisciplinary field. Applicants

o the collaborative IDS program must meet the specific departmental admission

equirements, which vary from one department to another. For information on the admission

equirements and application deadlines of your selected department, please contact the

elevant department directly.

n addition to the specific departmental admission requirements, applicants are expected

o have a strong background in the social sciences a demonstrable track record of

xperience in the course-based study of development issues, development research and/or

evelopment practice and a stated research interest relating to international development.

Degree Requirements

tudents complete requirements for the departmental degree as well as the IDS components

which consist of two core courses, including an interdisciplinary course on theories and

ebates in development and a course on development research and practice. While the

tudents have to successfully complete these courses to remain in the collaborative IDS

rogram, they do not have to pass a separate qualifying examination in addition to the

epartmental qualifying exam. Furthermore, the expectation is that the IDS students PhD

esearch will bridge two or more disciplines in a way that relates to the field of IDS.
