<p>Can anyone speak to the stand of Development Studies programs at some of the top-notch universities in the UK? I saw that both Cambridge and Oxford have ODID and that the London School of Economic and their School of Oriental and African Studies (any idea what the difference is between the two programs as they're both affiliated with the Uni of London??). Do I need to take the GRE for these schools or just submit a personal statement and proof of funding? Thanks.</p>
