Oxford Department of International Development The Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) is the focus in the University for post-graduate teaching and advanced research on developing countries and emerging economies, and on their relationship with the rest of the world. ODID is located at Queen Elizabeth House in central Oxford, and is thus often known as “QEH”. The Department is recognized as one of the leading international centres in its field. It was ranked as the top development studies department in the country in the UK government’s national assessment of research excellence in both 2008 (Research Assessment Exercise) and 2014 (Research Excellence Framework), with most of its research rated as world-leading and internationally excellent. ODID maintains a world-wide network of scholars and policy researchers in developing countries. 3 The Department has particular strength in the study of Africa, Asia and Latin America. It has close relationships with cognate departments in Oxford, such as Politics and International Relations, Anthropology, Area Studies, Economics and Law. The Department comprises a core of some 25 academic staff engaged in teaching and research, together with 71 research staff in five research centres - the Refugee Studies Centre, the Young Lives Study, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, the Technology and Management Centre for Development and the International Growth Centre, which is led by ODID and the Department of Economics, with the LSE. These centres have support from key research partner institutions in developing countries, and engage in extensive policy advisory work for governments, international agencies and civil society organisations. ODID teaches around 260 postgraduate students on doctoral and Masters’ programmes. Students come with outstanding academic track records from all over the world. Degrees offered at ODID include the DPhil in International Development, a DPhil in Migration Studies (based at Anthropology), a two-year MPhil in Development Studies and four one-year MSc courses on Economics for Development, Refugee & Forced Migration Studies, Global Governance & Diplomacy, and Migration Studies. These programmes are research-led, and combine rigorous research methods training with applied thesis work which prepares students for both academic and policy careers. The Department is also home to a considerable number of post-doctoral fellows and academic visitors from a wide range of developing countries. Further information about the Department can be found at https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/ and on the courses at https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/content/study. Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, seven of our departments have achieved Bronze Athena SWAN Awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Anthropology and Museum Ethnography and the Saïd Business School. The School of Geography and the Environment now holds an Athena SWAN Silver Award. All our other departments are either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. 4 The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
