IDPM Postgraduate Taught Fieldwork

Students on fieldtrip to Cyprus

Most IDPM Masters programmes include a fieldwork visit, which is an integral part of the course. Recent destinations have included India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Mexico, Turkey, Uganda, Ghana, China, Hong Kong and a number of European destinations. The cost of the visit is usually included in the programme fee.

Follow the links below to read what our students thoughts about two of our fieldwork trips:

Cyprus

"Our visit to the UNDP facilities and the buffer zone expanded our knowledge about the reality of Cyprus. We learnt about the complexity of working on the re-unification of the country and the projects on both sides."

Uganda

"What struck me was the openness of quality speakers to discuss Uganda’s challenges and the respect we were given as students from The University of Manchester."
