Call open for MSc Courses 2018-2019: Master of Development Evaluation and Management, IOB
The Master of Globalisation and Development approaches the phenomenon of globalisation from an eclectic perspective, considering both the opportunities it creates and threats it poses to development and poverty alleviation in low and middle-income countries, at both the national and local levels.
The Master’s programme comprises 12 months, starting and ending mid-September, and consists of four modules. The first module (Theories of Development Research methods I and II) provides an overview of theories of development and gives students up-to-date knowledge of research methods and techniques, both general and programme-specific. In modules II (Globalisation and Development) and III (Local Institutions and Poverty Reduction) research-driven interactive education is offered. In module IV (Dissertation), each student conducts an individual development research project under the guidance of a supervisor.
The topics covered relate to the thematic focus of modules II and III. A limited number of students receive IOB travel grants in order to conduct fieldwork or participate in an internship for their research project. The dissertation is the subject of a public presentation and defence.
This Master offers only one track: Global opportunities for local development. This track focuses on the analysis of the interaction between external and local actors at the interface of global and local development processes.5

International Joint Master of Science Regional Development Planning and Management
SPRING places its emphasis on development management at an intermediate level (e.g. district) between macro-regional and community-based planning. Development planning is seen as a problem-oriented management tool with the following objectiv to identify development problems, trends, resources, constraints and potentials; to formulate development objectives, policies and strategies; to design plans and programmes; to assess environmental impacts of plans and programmes; to organise target group participation and decision-making processes; to apply instruments for programme implementation and management and to evaluate and monitor plans and programmes.
SPRING, Fakultät Raumplanung, Universität Dortmund (ISPC / SPRING)
SPRING (Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies) is a two year Master´s degree programme that addresses up to date topics of spatial planning in developing countries. In lectures, participants of the SPRING Programme discuss for instance the rapid growth of megacities, searching for solutions in the conflict between environmental protection and economic development as well as dealing with strategies to improve traffic systems. The course starts with one year of study in Dortmund, Germany, followed by a second year at one of the four partner universities in Asia, Africa or Latin America. At TU Dortmund University SPRING is with now more than 25 years the oldest Master course and was the first one being conducted in English. SPRING combines teaching in development theories and strategies, planning concepts and methods, and implementation and monitoring tools with practice-orientated field studies aimed at elaborating regional development plans and programmes in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The programme content is oriented by the specific socio-economic problems in the developing world.SPRING places its emphasis on development management at an intermediate level (e.g. district) between macro-regional and community-based planning.

Development Evaluation and Management (MA)
Programme content: The Master’s in Development Evaluation and Management focuses on the efforts made by a wide range of public and private actors to promote development in low-income countries. It provides a solid understanding of past and present aid policies of multilateral and bilateral donors, and of the major aid modalities and instruments deployed. The institutional characteristics of the actors involved – be they governments, community-based organisations, international NGOs, bilateral or multilateral donors – are analysed so as to attain a better understanding of processes and outcomes. The theoretical perspective is that development can be understood as a set of interlocking collective action problems, on both the recipient and the donor side. The Master’s programme offers methodological and practical insights into development evaluation, its relevance and challenges. Most of our students are engaged in development, profes-sionally and/or as researchers. The Master’s will improve their capacity to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the pre-vailing aid paradigms and the changing approaches to aid. Students will learn to
Master; Institute of Development Policy and Management, University of Antwerp (IOB)
Programme Structure: The three IOB Master programmes each have a similar structure. The first three modules are devoted to seminars and coursework. The first introduces theories of development and teaches research methods and techniques, both general and programme-specific. Modules II and III offer research-driven and highly interactive teaching specific to each of the programmes. After the completion of module II, students can choose between two options for module III. In module IV students undertake a personal project supervised by a research tutor. The resulting dissertation may consist of a study of the relevant literature or may be the result of hands-on experience, or a combination of both. The dissertation is the subject of a public presentation.Programme content: The Master’s in Development Evaluation and Management focuses on the efforts made by a wide range of public and private actors to promote development in low-income countries.

Impact Evaluation for International Development (MSc)
Impact evaluation has become an important tool in development research and policy making, with multilateral and bilateral donor agencies and developing country governments widely committed to funding and utilising high quality impact evaluation evidence.
Evidence-based policy needs understandings of who benefits from interventions, by how much, why, and under what circumstances. It also needs to appreciate the costs and benefits of interventions and evaluations.
Master; School of International Development, University of East Anglia (DEV)
The MSc Impact Evaluation for International Development degree offers familiarisation with and skills in the basics of modern evidence-based policy and Impact Evaluation, including the contexts and practices of evaluation, research design and data production for evaluation, and basic and more advanced methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Teaching materials are drawn from the development literature and iconic Impact Evaluation case studies.Impact evaluation has become an important tool in development research and policy making, with multilateral and bilateral donor agencies and developing country governments widely committed to funding and utilising high quality impact evaluation evidence.
