Professor Patrick Fitzpatrick:

Given that the centre is university-wide, we do not have students who study specifically in the Centre for Global Development, apart from about 40 students who are on the bachelor's programme in international development in any one year. As Dr. Lahiff said, those 40 students all go on a six month placement with an NGO. That aspect of the course has been supported by Irish Aid for the last ten years. We also have master's degree students and there are PhD students from developing countries in different faculties; there are 40 students from Nigeria. The campus is very international, with up to 2,500 to 3,000 students from around the world, many from developing countries.
