Master's Programme in International Development, Education, and Sustainabilities Programme description

The Master’s Programme in International Development, Education, and Sustainabilities is a study programme that provides qualifications needed for work in the broad field of international development, including work on development programs and projects focused on economic and social development and/or on education and/or on ecological sustainability, at multiple levels of scale (local, national, regional, international). Such work extends to educators, to policy analysts / policy makers and practitioners, working within the INGO sector or other agencies, with a particular focus on the Global South and / or on Global North-South dynamics. The programme also qualifies students for admission to relevant PhD programmes, for example the PhD Programme in Educational Sciences at OsloMet.

Students who complete the programme will be awarded the degree Master in International Development, Education, and Sustainabilities.
