The purpose of this course is to permit International and Development Economics students with special interests in a branch of development economics to have an in-depth study of the topic with a staff member or distinguished visitor who is currently doing research in the area. It is envisaged that this course will comprise seminars/workshops/small group discussions, and could be made available either in first or second semester or over the Dec/Jan/Feb break. Enrolment will be on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the Director of Studies.

Continuous assessment on the basis of seminar papers, presentations and discussions.
