Edinburgh and African Studies
Our internationally recognised staff have established strong links across Africa in many different disciplines.
The MSc/Diploma in Africa and International Development programme builds on the Centre of African Studies’ breadth and depth of knowledge on African history, politics and cultures.
International development expertise
It also draws in expertise on international development from across the University in many fields, including:
- economics
- education
- environmental sciences
- history
- medicine
- veterinary medicine
This detailed knowledge on Africa and breadth of expertise on development gives students a unique opportunity to follow a critical, balanced and practical curriculum focused on their interests and needs.
Intellectual and cultural activities
Students also benefit from the huge range of activities organised at the University and within the city of Edinburgh on international development themes throughout the year, thanks to our close connections with Scotland’s vibrant civil society, African Diaspora groups and the Scottish Parliament.
