You develop into a thorough researcher who knows how to optimize the impact of research findings. The programme has a unique interdisciplinary approach and allows you to specialise in one of three urgent research domains. These domains help you understand and frame not only your research field, but also the world around you.

- Ecological livelihoods and environmental justice

- Grassroots initiatives, development and the state
