International Affairs and Development: Master's Year 1

• Students who have completed a Bachelor's degree (180 ETCS) in Management, Economics, Social Science, or equivalent.
• Criteria for the Sustainable Development major: successful candidates may already be engaged in sustainable development issues through volunteer work or their involvement in sustainable programs.
• Criteria for the Economics major: no professional experience requirements; academic excellence is the most important factor. Successful applicants will have earned a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in economics, or taken several economics courses while studying for their Bachelor's degree in social or management.
• Criteria for the Peace Studies major: there are three essential criteria that are taken under consideration: the undergraduate transcript; any internships or consistent volunteer work relevant to Peace Studies; clear and coherent career goals.

Admission is on the basis of the application; the selection criteria depend on the applicant's chosen major.
Candidates can only apply to one major

• For the Economics major: advanced economics courses require students to have a basic understanding of economics (models, concepts, methods). A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Economics is a plus. Students with a Bachelor's degree in Social Science or Management who have taken core economics courses are usually eligible for the program.
• For the Sustainable development major: students are required to have taken prior courses in economics, management, and social sciences.
• For the Peace Studies major: students follow a common core with a heavy emphasis on economics. Applicants should know enough Economics and Math to allow them to take these courses.

There are three stages to the admissions process:

1. An online application
2. Admissions response: Applicants will receive a notice about the results of the selection process on the MyCandidature platform.
3. The committee meets once to rank candidates based on their applications and filter them into the main list, the waiting list, or the rejection list.
