MA Participation, Power and Social Change at IDS
Linking practice, theory and reflection
The Institute of Development Studies, Sussex University (UK), offers a unique 18-month Master's degree that gives development workers the opportunity to critically reflect on their practice and build knowledge
and skills while continuing to work. The MA combines two terms of academic study with one year of work-based action research, in which students inquire into challenges related to participation, power relations and social change. Applicants should have 3-5 years
of relevant experience working with communities, civil society, government, business or consultancy, and can pursue diverse areas of interest such as community development,
governance, agriculture, health, human rights, livelihoods, natural resources, HIV, climate change, youth, gender, communication, planning, policy-making, and others. For further information please visit
