Prof Duncan Green CON.8.03

This course is available on the MSc in African Development, MSc in Development Management, MSc in Development Studies, MSc in Development Studies (Research) and MSc in International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies. This course is not available as an outside option.

This course is only available to students taking DV410 and is therefore not available as an option for students from other departments. It builds on the weekly lectures/seminars given as a component of DV410.

DV445 offers ID students the opportunity to work as a research assistant with an ID professor, and prepare a research paper under her or his supervision.

Students will produce a 5,000 word research paper supported by individual tutorials with an allocated member of staff. The DV445 essay must be a clearly distinct piece of work from the DV410 dissertation. However, the DV445 essay can be related to the dissertation topic if it constitutes a discrete piece of work.

40 hours of lectures in the MT. 20 hours of lectures in the LT.

Teaching in lectures and workshops is the same as for DV410. Individual tutorials with the supervising member of staff.

The formative assessment will be a 3,000 word draft of the final assignment for discussion with the relevant member of staff.
