ODID QEH
Добавлен 18 сен 2013
The Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) is the focus for postgraduate teaching and applied research on international development issues at the University of Oxford.
We are known for our frontier research on economic growth and instability, trade and investment, poverty and inequality, insecurity and conflict, migration and refugees, global governance and environment, children and human development.
We provide postgraduate research training (DPhil and MPhil) and four one-year MSc taught courses to some 200 students. These programmes involve advanced research methods, intensive personal supervision, subject specialisation and fieldwork.
We are often known as Queen Elizabeth House or QEH, the name of our building at 3 Mansfield Road in Oxford.
