Overview
The Humanitarian Action, Cooperation, and Development (E-learning) course from University Fernando Pessoa is a fully recognized Master Degree program by the Ministry of Higher Education of Portugal. The program has also been accredited by Higher Education Agency of Portugal.
The program runs for two academic semesters, completed by one last semester for the elaboration of a Work Project (final paper). The Master’s degree is mainly in distance learning regime, but students are asked to attend 5 per cent of sessions in person (face-to-face)(including the presentation of the final work). The MHACD program uses state of the art learning platforms and tools (CANVAS, Zoom, Google Meeting). This means that you have access to all the resources, and to the faculty from anywhere in the world. We also have an online learning support team, which offers permanent and unparalleled assistance to our students with distance learning readiness and can solve any troubleshooting you may encounter.
The language of instruction in MHACD is English.
Objectives
With our advanced graduate degree, you can expect to commence your career in the humanitarian action field or advance your professional achievements in major international and/or multilateral organizations in the area. The MHACD degree program would also be helpful for all those who are already established experts in their fields as well as for early career professionals.
On the background of almost total absence of the EU-level recognized and graduate online degrees, University Fernando Pessoa has taken advantage of its long experience and partnerships in the humanitarian field to offer an unparalleled graduate degree program with flexible methodologies and cutting-edge learning tools.
