Each year one or two UK Shared Scholarship Scheme awards are available to outstanding applicants from the non-government and private sector organisations who are under 35 years of age. Candidates must have already received an offer of a place on one of our Masters or Diploma programmes.
Details are available from the course administrator.
The award for the successful completion of this programme is a Diploma of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law of the University of Manchester. The Diploma may be awarded with distinction. The Institute for Development Policy and Management mounts numerous Masters programmes , including an MA in Development Administration and Management and in Public Policy and Management , and MSc programmes in Human Resource Development and Human Resource Management . Candidates with a good social science degree may apply for direct entry, but a good performance in the Institute's Diploma also constitutes an entry qualification. Diploma candidates who envisage entry into a Master's degree should secure financial support and leave of absence for a two-year period.
