Globalisation and Development Studies is a one-year, selective, international and interdisciplinary programme taught in English.
Do you have a passion for research and work in the field of globalisation and development, rooted in undergraduate studies or experience in the field? Are you interested in individuals and communities, as well as in the broader relations between the Global North and South? Do you have the ambition to develop your academic research skills and to use academic insights to make a positive impact in the world? If so, this may be the right programme for you. The master's in Globalisation & Development Studies is a social science programme that focuses on how the dynamics of globalisation affect developing areas. You will develop the theoretical, analytical and practical skills that are essential for either an academic or professional career in globalisation and development.

As with many Maastricht University programmes, the Globalisation & Development Studies programme is taught using Problem-Based Learning (PBL). In tutorial groups of 12 to 15 students, you'll learn to conduct academic research and seek solutions to concrete ‘problems’ taken from situations involving current issues in globalisation and development.This teaches you to think like an academic and helps you develop the independence and problem-solving skills that you’ll need in the field.
objectives
As a Globalisation & Development Studies graduate, your thorough academic training prepares you for both a professional and an academic career.
