Economics in International Development (Graduate Diploma)

This graduate diploma is designed for students who wish to gain a basic understanding and knowledge of development, but who may not intend to proceed to obtain a Master’s Degree. This Diploma program is also interdisciplinary to provide a broader and more integrated perspective of development issues.

The Diploma should be of interest to those who plan to seek a position or a career with development-related institutions or with government departments directly concerned with development planning and evaluation.

Admission

The applicant for admission to this program should have a good knowledge of the concepts and analytical tools of economics. An applicant whose bachelor’s degree is in a discipline other than economics may be admitted provisionally, but in such cases, the applicant must either display competence in economics by passing required examinations or develop the necessary competence by completing additional undergraduate courses.
