Attention, Bachelor graduates: If you want to study in Passau, are not interested in law, business administration or the other usual suspects and also want to do something for your fellow human beings, you should definitely take a closer look at the new Master's program 'Development Studies'!
It is being offered for the first time in the current winter semester 15/16 and is already very popular with students in Passau. We have summarized the most important information about 'Development Studies' for you here!
Study theory in Passau, practice on site – sounds pretty good
Let's start with the classic definition: The Master's 'Development Studies' is about "examining development processes from different analytical perspectives, teaching qualitative and quantitative methods and providing an interdisciplinary insight into development research."
So, in German, this means that this course of study, among other things, researches how poorer nations should develop their economy and social system so that they can become competitive, sustainable countries in international trade. According to Prof. Dr. Michael Grimm analyzes “development processes from the perspectives of economics, sociology and sustainability science”.
What makes the course particularly interesting is the practical relevance, to which great importance is attached. Field studies on site and the concrete application of theoretical knowledge are very important here - that's really great, because trips to other countries are inevitable.
Your future after 'Development Studies'
In terms of jobs, 'Development Studies' is quite trendy, you're sure to find what you're looking for in politics, NGOs and the private sector.
Due to the different fields analyzed, the master's degree program represents a joint project between the Faculty of Humanities and Economics (students in Passau can find the relevant courses under the Faculty of Philosophy in Stud.IP). Particularly those who have already completed a degree in social sciences or have worked in the field of development issues in some way are particularly qualified recruiters for this master's degree.
However, one point is particularly important: ' Development Studies ' is a purely English-language master's degree, meaning anyone who has problems with English or absolutely doesn't like purely English lessons should think twice about whether they want to study this subject in Passau.
