The programme includes a Foundation Course in Global and Development Studies, which introduces students to the key concepts and methodologies in the field. The curriculum combines the fields of global and development studies, drawing on disciplines such as international relations, political economy, political science, sociology, and anthropology.

Global and Development Studies takes an interdisciplinary approach, with mandatory study activities providing an academic common ground while elective courses allow students to pursue their specific empirical, theoretical, and methodological interests. The programme emphasizes project work, where students investigate a problem of their own choosing, guided by a supervisor. This project work develops collaborative and leadership competences and ensures students are well-versed in communicating their results in writing and defending them during an oral exam.

By joining the Global and Development Studies programme, students become part of a culturally and linguistically diverse study environment, gaining essential social competences for pursuing a professional career in an international context. This approach prepares students for a variety of roles, including policy analysis, public affairs consulting, and international project management.
