Also what I really liked about the IDD programme is that it allows you to do the research for your dissertation abroad so it's combined with very hands on field research which was really the deciding point for me why I choose this degree.

The men are believed to have been targeted because of criticisms made of President Paul Kagame, and now fear for their lives. The news could prove extremely embarrassing for the Conservative-led coalition, which ploughs millions of pounds of aid into Rwanda, and has continued to cultivate a strong relationship with the country ever since the 1994 genocide.
