Research at IDPM
Research is central to IDPM's mission to raise the capabilities of individuals and organisations in developing countries.
Our research significantly contributed to Manchester being ranked as the top UK research institution in the area of development studies based on research power in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
Building on the success of the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC), IDPM is currently establishing ESID, a new DfID-funded research consortium on the political determinants of development.
Postgraduate Studies
With over 20 specialist masters programmes and over 300 postgraduate students enrolling every year, IDPM is the UK's largest university-based postgraduate training centre specialising in international development.
IDPM is also an increasingly popular choice for postgraduate research (PhD) students.
