The Executive Master in International Development
The Executive Master in International Development, designed in partnership with the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC), is aimed at experienced professionals seeking to advance their careers and improve their prospects in the multilateral, governmental, private and non-profit sectors, providing a practical approach that enables you to immediately implement the lessons learned.
