Programme profile
Development Studies is an interdisciplinary field where academic depth is achieved through insight into different but complementary fields. This programme seeks first to develop basic knowledge within different disciplines, such as social anthropology, sociology, ecology, economics, resource management and earth science, and then to analyze development issues in an interdisciplinary way.
The programme consists of mandatory and elective courses. The elective courses may be within areas such as economics, international relations, ecology, organisational theory and resource management. We recommend that you take one semester abroad where you may take courses that are not offered at the university:you will have an opportunity to study at one of our partner universities in, for example, Costa Rica, Tanzania, India, Canada or England.
