GSD Presents Third Annual PhD Symposium
On 2 July 2024 the GSD department held its third Annual GSD PhD Symposium - an event made possible by the Leverhulme Trust - sponsors of our Leverhulme-TRANSFORM Doctoral Training programme.
New collaboration with MAIDS-GRID at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand
Last year, GSD was delighted to establish an exciting collaboration at postgraduate level with the programmes in International Development Studies (MAIDS-GRID) at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, the highest-ranked university in Thailand. This partnership was conceptualised under the Thai-UK World-class University Consortium, funded by the British Council, which aims to bring together Thai and UK institutions for internationalisation and to enhance teaching and research through knowledge exchange and sharing.
MAIDS-GRID at Chulalongkorn and GSD at Warwick both offer international postgraduate programmes in sustainable development and development studies, which share several similarities, including a transdisciplinary teaching and research philosophy, an international student body and comparable programme size.
