International Development Management

Do you want to make a real difference in the world? With International Development Management, you learn how to tackle global challenges such as climate change, inequality, fair trade and food security. You work on real-life projects and gain international experience during your internships. You explore topics like climate justice, human rights, sustainable food systems, project management and ethical entrepreneurship. Interested in nature? Choose the International Nature Conservation specialisation and learn how to restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity and find solutions to environmental challenges. After graduation, you could work for international organisations like the United Nations or WWF, coordinate emergency aid, develop fair-trade supply chains or advise on climate policy. You can also work with local communities to protect nature and help them adapt to climate change. Or advise fast fashion companies on how to transition to sustainable products and supply chains. Whether you become a project manager, sustainability advisor, entrepreneur or lobbyist, you'll gain the skills, experience and international network to take action and help build a fairer, greener future.
