“Undertaking graduate study - whether on a taught programme or as a doctoral researcher - has the capacity to change the course of your life. It can transform how you see the world, how you understand your place in it, and how you can lead the kind of life that reflects your values and your desire to make a difference. Our graduate programmes create intellectual foundations not just for talking about the problems we collectively face but for taking action to help solve them. Whether the change you make is small-scale and local or on a global stage, it can start with the rigorous critical enquiries you will develop as a part of the GSD community. We hope that you will consider joining us and sharing our passion for change-making."
Dr Mandy Sadan, Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes
