African Languages and Cultures (BA) / Afrikaanse talen en culturen (BA)
Tijdens de bachelor Afrikaanse Talen en Culturen leer je niet alleen de talen, maar ook de achtergronden van de politieke, culturele en economische ontwikkelingen van het continent kennen. Je verdiept je in verschillende volkeren, de boeiende geschiedenis en literatuur en de vaak roerige politieke processen. Heel Afrika komt aan bod; je kunt je daarnaast richten op een regio van je persoonlijke interesse waarbij je je toespitst op geschiedenis, literatuur of taalkunde.
Studenten kunnen gebruik maken van de gespecialiseerde bibliotheek van het Afrika-Studiecentrum Leiden, het enige academische kennisinstituut van Nederland dat zich volledig richt op de bestudering van Afrika. Het ASCL is een interfacultair instituut van de Universiteit Leiden.

De Universiteit Leiden biedt als enige universiteit in Nederland een bachelor waarin heel Afrika aan bod komt. De docenten behoren tot de internationale top van hun vakgebied.

De meeste studenten kiezen voor de mogelijkheid om naar Ghana te gaan. De opleiding is kleinschalig: het contact met de docenten is heel persoonlijk en je leert je medestudenten goed kennen.Tijdens de bachelor Afrikaanse Talen en Culturen leer je niet alleen de talen, maar ook de achtergronden van de politieke, culturele en economische ontwikkelingen van het continent kennen.

New MOOC: When Disaster Meets Conflict
ISS
International Institute of Social Studies (ISS)
The course is about disaster risk reduction and humanitarian aid in conflict settings. It will teach you to develop accountable, high-quality and ethical responses to disaster in conflict-affected areas. The E-course is meant primarily for practitioners, but also open to students or otherwise interested people. It stimulates participants to think about humanitarian aid, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and disaster response in contexts where conflict is ongoing, lingering, or has characterized the setting in recent times, as well as about the hard choices and dilemmas faced by humanitarian actors in conflict settings. Moreover, you will learn to distinguish the different challenges and effective, positive examples of aid in three types of conflict settings. Through videos, interviews, guest lectures and realistic case-studio, learning becomes both relevant and fun; everything you learn will be applicable for practice in the field.International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Netherlands

Policy issues are becoming more complex, and policymaking has become a structured interaction between networked actors, with national governments and international organisations playing central roles in human development. More than ever, there is a clear need for specialists in policy analysis who can work in international and multi-level policy processes, taking on duties in the analysis of policy problems and the implementation and evaluation of solutions. In order to perform well in this domain, actors require a combination of theoretical background knowledge, technical skills and the opportunity to practise them, as well as a solid understanding of key policy fields.The Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development programme is a double-degree programme of Maastricht University’s Graduate School of Governance and University Nations University’s institute UNU-MERIT.

African Studies (Research) (MA)
Why study African Studies (research) at Leiden University?
The two year’s research master’s programme in African Studies at Leiden University bridges the often artificially drawn boundaries between the humanities, such as history and literary studies, and the social sciences, such as anthropology, political science and economics. As a result you have the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge about different aspects of the African continent and its peoples, at the same time you are not bound by boundary constraints of any of the more traditional disciplines focusing on Africa. Small classes ensure that you have plenty of direct contact with your lecturers and a high level of guidance and support throughout your studies.
Develop and practise your research skills
An important aspect of this programme is developing your ability to conduct original and interdisciplinary research. You will have the opportunity to spend an entire year (of which six months consists of fieldwork in Africa) to execute your own research project. This will provide you experiences into working and conducting research in Africa. You will take in-depth courses that will guide you through social theory, methodology development, and proposal writing; you will write a scientific publication, and practice your debating and presentation skills. This will enable you, upon graduation, to initiate independent PhD or policy research, advise and participate in policy development and implementation, or offer training to businesses wanting to do trade in Africa.

Evidence-Based Policy Research Methods (EPRM)
EPRM trains participants in:
- Translating policy issues into research questions
- Analysing qualitative and / or quantitative data
- Grasping the state-of-the-art in a particular field
- Designing, writing and disseminating proposals for evidence-based research, either in the workplace or in a broader research environment
This programme is for working professionals who are keen to improve their research skills, but unable to leave their job for a longer period. The programme assumes participants will spend a significant amount of time on the course in parallel with their regular job.
Essentially, the programme fills the gap between a Master’s degree and a research career or academic PhD education. After completion of this programme, participants are better equipped to engage in research activities or, indeed, to apply for a full PhD programme. Overall, our course covers research skills that transcend different disciplines, so all qualified participants are welcome.

Policymaking is a complicated business. Decisions have to be made quickly or secretly, based on limited knowledge or expertise, while covering wide briefs and remaining in force for a number of years. The stakes are high, so preparation is essential.
