Master of Arts in European Politics, Economics and Law (Full-Time)
The course is taught on a seminar basis and is intended to further deepen students' knowledge of European politics, law and economics so that by the end of the course they can rightly claim to be ‘specialised generalists’ i.e. graduates with a broad knowledge of the EU but with a deeper specialised understanding in particular areas. The aim is to encourage students to develop their analytical and critical skills – something which is aided by the way the seminars are structured.

An Introduction to Farmer-Led Irrigation Course
Global Development Institute (GDI)
Improving agricultural productivity is key to achieving food security, economic growth and rural employment in Africa – and irrigation plays a vital role. In the last few years, there’s been a growing recognition of the contribution and potential of farmer-led irrigation systems. Farmer-led irrigation development appears to exceed the extent of all public and corporate irrigation schemes. This free, online introductory course provides a summary of the many practical and policy questions which are raised by the phenomenon of farmer-led irrigation development in Africa. The course is aimed at practitioners, researchers and students interested in finding out more about the issues around farmer-led irrigation. It can be completed at your own pace and has been optimised to work in locations with low bandwidth. It features introductions to key concepts, interviews with farmers engaged in irrigation, practical advice and policy implications around farmer-led irrigation. Links to further reading and more information are included for those who wish to interrogate the topic more deeply.DegreeCourse TypeLanguage

Master of Arts in European Integration Studies (Full-Time)
The degree programme combines both a taught element and research. During the course, students will follow two courses, one on political science and economics and one on research methodology. The student must pass these compulsory credits. At the same time, the student will be working on his/her dissertation which will be submitted at the end of the third semester.
Institute for European Studies, University of Malta
The MA in European Integration is a degree programme that allows individuals with direct experience of working in EU affairs or highly specialised, motivated graduates to undertake targeted research in areas relating to the EU and integration and which, through applied research, would lead to substantive work which contributes to our knowledge of EU affairs as well as contributing to the good of society. It need not be added that the range of research topics will also depend on the availability of Institute staff in providing the necessary supervision. In this way, the MA by Research breaks from the Institute’s traditional approach of seeking to create informed generalists and aims to take candidates with a substantial background in EU affairs and produce highly specialised graduates with applied knowledge in their chosen area of research.The degree programme combines both a taught element and research.

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.

Industrial Policy in the 21st Century – The Challenge for Africa
United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) is launching its Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), Industrial Policy in the 21st Century – the Challenge for Africa, as a self-paced course.
This course is based on a decade of research by UNU-WIDER, in partnership with the Brookings Institute, inspired by three key questions: Why is there so little industry in Africa? Does it matter? Is there something we can do about it? According to the World Bank, Africa’s working-age population is expected to increase by nearly 70% by 2035. Without industrialization to create jobs, it will be difficult to achieve sustainable development. While manufacturing led to rapid industrialization in East Asian countries, there is doubt that it can have the same effect in Africa. The question is, if not through manufacturing, how can Africa promote economic growth? In this UNU-WIDER course, brought to you via the SDG Academy, you will hear from John Page and other leading voices in development economics about the range of activities known as ‘industries without smokestacks’, and learn how industrial policy that promotes the growth of these industries presents a win-win scenario for economic development in Africa.United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), Finland

Institute for European Studies, University of Malta
The programme of studies aims to provide students with a solid and comprehensive knowledge of the European Union from a multi-disciplinary angle, involving the politics, economics, law and history of European Integration. The degree programme also allows students to focus on two major areas of study chosen from a list of study-areas offered by other faculties and university entities. Another aim is to develop students’ analytical skills and to deepen their critical appraisal of EU policies and EU affairs in general. Special emphasis is also laid, where appropriate, on the deepening of knowledge of the theories and theoretical frameworks employed by the various disciplines in assessing EU policies.By the end of the course the graduate will have the skills needed to understand the politics, economics and law of the EU and to assess and analyse to a very relevant degree policy developments in the EU, write reports on such developments and recognise the developing trends.
