We partner with SOAS University of London and UCL Institute of Education to offer our two graduate programmes.

The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is a contemporary endeavour of the Ismaili Imamat to realise the social conscience of Islam through institutional action. Founded and guided by His Highness the Aga Khan, the AKDN brings together a number of agencies, institutions, and programmes that have been built up over the past fifty years and aim at improving living conditions and opportunities in specific regions of the developing world.
