In our International Development Studies program, our second year culminates in a real world consultancy with a client of their choice.
Since 2017, I’ve had the pleasure of advising 4 to 5 groups of our graduate students for their pro-bono consultancies. Their consultancies lasted for four to six months, including two weeks of field work, and covered a range of fields of development practice. I’ve captured a selection of them in this gallery.
