About the programme

Do you want to develop a set of strong, widely applicable analytical, practical and communication skills, while at the same time specializing in a region of the globe of rising importance? As a graduate in African Studies you will accomplish both.

What makes the programme at UCPH unique?

The Master’s programme in African Studies has three main goals: Firstly, students gain advanced knowledge of Africa and its global connections across historical, social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions. Secondly, they develop critical analytical skills applicable to both African and broader contexts. Finally, they acquire competencies for professional roles in both public and private sectors, internationally and nationally.

What specialisations does the field of study offer?

Some of the most pressing current and future challenges on the African continent concern the climate crisis, sustainability and environmental governance. These issues are integrated as part of the compulsory courses in the MA study program alongside a range of other diverse dimensions of African realities.
