About the programme

Globalization has fundamentally changed living conditions worldwide, significantly impacting regions within the Global South. While massive economic growth in emerging markets and other economies has lifted billions of people out of poverty, many continue to face poverty and unequal conditions. The master’s program in global development enables graduates to understand, analyse and address these complexities within our world.

Programme structure

The MSc in Global Development at the University of Copenhagen is a two-year programme taught in English.

The first year consists of seven compulsory courses including the mandatory field course in a low or middle-income country. All students undertake fieldwork in the same location.

The second year is a year of specialisation wherein the fourth semester is devoted to your master’s thesis.
