At IDS they make you earn your degree, there are no shortcuts, and I am all the better for it!  I benefited a great deal from IDS' seminar-style mode of teaching and the close mentorship and friendship of my research supervisors. I acquired key learning, literacy and life skills from my time at IDS that I apply every day in both professional and non-professional contexts. Having an IDS degree has opened doors for me and allowed me to advance in my career.
