I liked the diversity of this Master鈥檚 in Sustainable Development. There are many interesting guest lectures, all by experts in their specific field.

After my Bachelor鈥檚 programme in Public Administration, my goal was to get a multi-disciplinary outlook on societal problems. And to learn the tools for solving those problems in a manner that (hopefully) satisfies everyone involved. For my first choice, which was the Energy and Materials track, I had to do a Pre-Master鈥檚 programme. However, after completing the Pre-Master-鈥檚, I decided to switch to the Earth System Governance track, since I felt that the human element was under-addressed in the E&M track.

I liked the diversity of this Master鈥檚 in Sustainable Development. There are many interesting guest lectures, all by experts in their specific field. Some teachers asked more questions than we did and there were some really good discussions within the group. The role-playing activities too helped me to understand some fundamental principles of global governance.

My advice for finding a fitting Master鈥檚 programme is: take your time to make sure it really is something for you. A Master鈥檚 programme is way more intensive and specific, and makes you an expert in one specific field. Without the right motivation, it will be challenging to complete. Your Bachelor's skills are less important than how motivated you are. Attend one or two lectures, or contact a student from the programme to find out more.
