Alumni
Our joint Master program, Global Development Policy (GLODEP), has more than 120 alumni worldwide working in various job positions (research, program officer at the international organization as well as in local NGOs, government ministries). The most significant GLODEP learning was, for most of them, the ability to analyze current development challenges and propose development policies as well as the flexibility, the ability to work in changing environments and administrative systems, and the skills to build a consensus and cooperate with people from different geographical and disciplinary backgrounds.
