The program continues with the Master in International Development, where students will have the unique opportunity to look closer at the UN’s strategies for change. Each module of the master’s program reflects a core element of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, inspiring students to critically rethink the world’s approach to development and design strategies for sustainable growth. The program includes a week-long immersion experience in a United Nations operation, offering students direct insight into the inner workings of this powerful organization. What’s more, the course is taught in part by industry practitioners and UN staff members, and includes over 30 workshops and presentations by experts in the field. From day one, students will join a highly diverse and dynamic community of specialists, leaders, and policy-makers, who all are on hand to guide students and help them achieve their goals—both inside the classroom, and beyond.
