Global Development Policy

GLODEP - GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY - is a two-year joint master program in development studies with an economic grounding and multidisciplinary perspective. GLODEP has a fixed structure: first semester at Palacky University Olomouc (Olomouc, Czech Republic), second semester at the University of Göttingen (Göttingen, Germany), and a third semester at the University Clermont Auvergne (Clermont-Ferrand, France). The fourth semester is dedicated to an internship or research stay, preferably with associated partners of the Consortium (see Academic Associates and Non-Academic Associates); and to thesis writing.

GLODEP (Global Development Policy) enables the graduates to work in higher-level positions (for example as government policy officers and project managers) in international organizations (e.g. UN agencies, World Trade Organization, development banks), non-governmental organizations (e.g. Oxfam and World Vision) and in governments (e.g. national development agencies and various ministries), as well as in businesses; with a focus on sustainable economic and human development. Reflecting the character of the program, the graduates will be suited to work in teams of people with diverse professional experience and from a range of disciplinary backgrounds.
