Check if you qualifyThis programme looks at how communities and economies develop, and how to plan and manage that change. It blends social science theory with practical tools for working in development. As a less competitive degree programme, it may be a realistic option for students who want to work in this field.
What integrated development studies covers
Programmes of this kind usually cover development theory, economics, sociology, research methods, project planning, and evaluation. You learn how to analyse poverty, inequality, and governance, and how to design interventions that help communities and regions grow.
What graduates do
Most graduates go into development work in non-governmental organisations, government agencies, international organisations, or research. Common roles include development officer, project manager, policy analyst, and community organiser. Some continue to postgraduate study in development or related fields.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry is less competitive than for many degree programmes. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be as high as for more competitive courses. However, you still need to meet the university's minimum requirements, so check whether your results qualify.
