Overview
In this Master’s programme in Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University you develop your critical, analytical, reflective and academic skills to contribute to society, conducting qualitative research. In the first semester, you choose and design your research project fitting in one of three thematic tracks:
- Decolonising diversity in a polarised world
- Ecological livelihoods and environmental justice
- Grassroots initiatives, development and the state
During three months of fieldwork you will find answers on your questions within your area of interest. Concluding the Master’s programme, you will sum up your findings, not only in the form of an academic thesis, but also as a policy brief or other type of output that you can share with relevant stakeholders to increase your impact.
Future career opportunities
Possible jobs are that of a policy officer, advisor, or researcher for the central or local government, an advisor at aid, welfare and civil society organisations such as the UN, Cordaid or the Dutch Council for Refugees, a researcher at a university or NGO, trade union, consultancy firm or private institution or as a journalist or communication officer.
