CDSSEA Scholarships : MA of Development Studies

The Consortium of Development Studies in Southeast Asia (CDSSEA) is awarding scholarships to candidates from Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand who would like to pursue a Master’s degree in development studies in Thailand. Under the CDSSEA scholarship Program, applicants can choose to study on one of three leading development programs, namely:
• The Master of Arts in International Development Studies (MAIDS)
at Chulalongkorn University,
• The Master of Arts in Social Science (Sustainable Development)
(MASS) at Chiang Mai University or
• The Master of Science in Gender and Development Studies (MGDS)
at the Asian Institute of Technology.

While studies in development are core to all three programs, they each have distinct
specializations. For MAIDS, the political approach to development highlighting democratization, human rights, confl ict resolution and globalization is included, while the
MASS program centers on social science and anthropological perspectives, with research
interests including environmental and resource management, food security, development
and local livelihoods, migration, ethnicity, transborder issues and health, all under the
context of the regionalization of development. The MGDS program takes a gender  perspective with regard to development discussing issues such as economic development, politics, human rights, civil society, migration, urbanization and industrialization.
