Aim and Relevance

Our Aim

The aim of the 18-month MA in Development Management is the training of professionals to meet the increasing need for experts in program and project management that has emerged in international development cooperation.

Alumni testimonial by M.A. Laura Gorety Crespo Benítez, Mexico

"The programme widdened a lot my oportunities to get a development-related job and I really got some abilities and knowledge that not many people in my country have related to designing a project or international cooperation"

The course gives the student the necessary tools to deal with the practical problems of managing development programs and projects: an introduction to theory for embedding them in a wider context, an interdisciplinary approach to methodology based on case studies for concrete analysis and the application of theoretical and methodological knowledge.


Practical Relevance

An important question from potential students and applicants is always: "What can I get as additional qualification from this MA Program?"

Alumni testimonial by M.A. Phaustine Wabwire, Kenya

“I would greatly hail the partnership between IEE and UWC. This for me was the best development collaboration in practice. The opportunity to study at both institutions greatly widened my outlook on both academic and professional circles”


Besides of the academic qualifactions we are imparting and teaching one main characteristic of our Program is its practical relevance. This starts with the internship, which is arranged from us over a continuous career counselling to the establishment of a scientific network within the Institute due Alumni Management and the integrated PhD School.

When looking at our Alumni we can also proudly state, that over 85% of our graduates are now working as professionals in the field of development cooperation.
