I am looking to do an MA/Msc next year in latin american development, the best course I can find is at the Institute for Latin American Studies, which doesn't show up in any tables or anywhere in fact. Can anyone tell me if it is actually any good there, I mean if I go for the programme I want, will it be worthwhile or should i look to a more credible institution?

A quick Google revealed that the Institute of Latin American Studies merged with the Institute of United States Studies at the University of London in August 2004 to become the Institute for the Study of the Americas. Perhaps that's why you can't find the ILAS anywhere? Best wishes.
