Możliwości kariery
With International Development Management, you will become an expert in transitions towards a more sustainable, just society.

Are you ready to make a real impact? Do you champion equality, fair trade and climate activism? With International Development Management, you will become an expert in transitions towards a more sustainable, just society.

Why this international development programme?

Here, you will meet students with many different ideas, nationalities and backgrounds. And that makes the study programme an exciting breeding ground.

  • Practice-oriented. Your knowledge is always up-to-date and directly applicable. You will follow guest lectures and do assignments for organisations such as Rainforest Alliance and municipalities. And many lecturers come from the professional field.
  • Freedom of choice. There is a lot to choose from. You can become a generalist or a specialist. And you can delve into five themes: food security, climate action and fair trade, social equality and disaster and conflict mitigation.
  • Two internships. You will do internships at home or abroad with very different organisations and companies, such as the Red Cross and Fairtrade International.
  • Impact. You can make a difference with your knowledge and skills and contribute to a better world for everyone.
  • Great job opportunities. After your education, you will understand global challenges and their causes. You are inquisitive, solution-oriented and flexible. This allows you to adapt well to the dynamic professional environment and work together in multicultural teams.
From emergency relief to community development

In the International Development Management programme, you will discover how to successfully work towards a fair and sustainable society. You will work on five themes: environmental justice, disaster relief and conflict prevention, social inclusion and diversity, healthy food and resilient communities, as well as equitable and sustainable value chains. Focusing on these, you compose part of your study programme yourself. And as a result, you will eventually become a generalist or specialist.

Putting theory into practice

You will put your knowledge into practice during two internships, during courses looking at issues in organisations and during your thesis. An actual case study - could be flooding, famine or forest fire - turns theory into practice. From emergency relief to community development. You will learn:

  • what local people experience, and which parties and interests play a role;
  • how you create change, and with what strategies;
  • how to bring parties such as the government, companies and local people together to work towards that change;
  • how to work together in an international, multicultural team.

Dodatkowe wymagania
  • Matematyka - mile widziane jest, jeśli ten przedmiot był nauczany przez cały okres trwania szkoły średniej, ale nie jest to wymaganie konieczne do spełnienia. 
    Osoby, które nie mają wystarczającej wiedzy z tego przedmiotu mogą ją zdobyć w trakcie pierwszego roku.

The knowledge and skills you gain in your studies will open doors for you worldwide. From nature reserves in Uganda and coffee plantations in Peru to climate lobbying in Brussels. You can find work at both commercial and non-commercial parties. Perhaps you will become a development aid coordinator at Cordaid, set up your own sustainable business, work as a climate change advisor, defend human rights or work as a food security specialist at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Project or programme manager

In this job, you work on a programme or project focusing on, for instance, emergency relief, gender equality or community development. You will do this for organisations such as the international Red Cross, MedAir in Afghanistan, the Impact Facility in Kenya or the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) in the Netherlands. Will you work for MedAir? Together with your team, you ensure good, appropriate, and effective humanitarian aid.

Consultant or junior expert

As a consultant or junior expert, you can work for municipalities, companies or organisations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Cordaid. You will deal with issues such as climate change, sustainable production, inclusive development or food systems. Will you work at municipality on climate change? Then you research how the municipality can better mitigate the effects of the changing climate. With input from all stakeholders, you provide advice on new projects and collaborations.

Business owner

Have you started your own social enterprise after graduation? Then you might do research on food security as a consultant, for example. But you can also work as a facilitator of change processes, bringing together various stakeholders to come up with a good idea or smart solution. Alternatively, as an innovator, you might develop an app that helps farmers manage their land and care for their crops.

Lobbyist

If you have 'lobbyist' on your business card, you advocate changes at higher levels. For instance, you lobby Dutch governments and companies for green change. Or you take action at the United Nations or the European Commission. Will you, for example, focus on improving working conditions for garment producers? Then you engage with involved parties, such as labor unions, and represent their interests to the Dutch government.
