International Development Studies
Master
Do you often wonder why it remains so hard to tackle global challenges such as poverty, inequality and environmental degradation? Are you intrigued by topics like migration, climate justice and social unrest? If so, join the MSc in International Development Studies and learn how to contribute to a more just and sustainable future. The world around us is constantly evolving, and so is our understanding of development and processes of change. In this two-year MSc programme, you learn to study these processes in a critical and reflexive manner, acknowledging the dilemmas and complexities that are inherently part of development theories and policies. Tailor your programme to your personal interests and delve into themes like political change, food security, disasters, natural resource depletion, and inclusive development.
