During the first semester, an interdisciplinary introduction to relevant theories and strategies of development mainly from the economic and social science perspective is given.

The second semester is spent learning about the different methods of programme and project planning, implementation, and evaluation. Attention is also given to methods of empirical research.

During the third semester students concentrate on writing their Master's thesis.

For their M.A. thesis projects, students, in consultation with the course co-ordinator, select a research problem related to a development programme or project as a starting point during the first semester. During the second semester the topic is addressed from a theoretical perspective in a seminar paper which is also aimed at preparing the empirical research carried out after that semester. The final thesis is designed to demonstrate the student's ability to embed their research in the scientific debate and to communicate it in a clear and coherent way.
