What development studies actually covers
Programmes of this kind usually combine economics, sociology, political science, and research methods. You examine why some societies grow while others do not, and how policies and projects can bring about real change. You also learn how to measure the impact of development efforts, so you can tell what is working and what is not.
How hard it is to get a place
This programme is less competitive to enter than many social science degrees. That means your chances of being offered a place are higher, but admission still depends on your grades and the university's requirements. If you meet the basic entry qualifications, it is worth applying.
