Overview

By focusing on a combination of theory, skills, experimental and real-world experiences, the Development Studies programme from O.P. Jindal Global University prepares students to bridge the gap between societal need, policy design, and implementation while centring inclusion and people's well-being. Alongside addressing development challenges, ensuring our students' employability has been a principal factor in conceptualising the programme.

Catering to both working professionals and fresh graduates, the Development Studies programme is designed to include several skills and research-based courses that prepare students for successful careers in the development sector and beyond. Classes will be held in an online mode, enabling students to pursue the programme from any location, while managing their jobs or other commitments.
