veeto Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi guys, first time posting and currently preparing applications for 2011. I am a Canadian and am looking mainly at programs in Europe - I would love some opinions, especially if you have attended any of these schools or are familiar with the programs. Here's my list thus far: Aalborg University MSc Development & International Relations (*Global Refugee Studies Specialization*) ISS Erasmus University & Central European University MA Development & MA Public Policy - Mundus MAPP Program University of East Anglia MA International Relations & Development Studies University of Edinburgh MSc International Development Roehampton University MA Human Rights & International Relations University of Leeds MA Global Development Swansea University MSc in Development & Human Rights or MSc Migration & International Development Thanks in advance for your help! Cost is definitely a factor being that I'm an international student - which I'm sure you can tell from the list. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeto Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks - I have been looking at LSE and Essex. My GPA falls short for Oxford unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ0911 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I did the MSc in Human Rights at LSE- the course is pretty flexible so you can also take courses in the department of international development, which I loved. So much so I'm applying for a PhD there though not holding out much hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeto Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks for your response! Good to get some feedback. Good luck with your application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTown Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for your response! Good to get some feedback. Good luck with your application! Definitely definitely take a look at Sussex. IDS is famous in development and they have a great department. Grades will be counted but I think their admissions has a very holistic approach in assessing applicants. Plus it's near Brighton, which is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
