Teaching Modalities

The first year of the Master’s program in International Affairs and Development is divided into two semesters. It runs from September to April or May.

When they apply, students choose the first-year major that best prepares them (out of the three offered) for the program they wish to take in the second year of the Master’s program. Students have the option to change their major at the end of the first semester.
The first year of the Master’s program consists of a combination of required courses and electives. Both theoretical courses and applied courses are available. Each major offers its own specific courses, even if they are open to students in other majors as electives (e.g. Econometrics; Practicing Peace).
Examples of courses: International Economics, Economics of Development, Social and Environmental Responsibility, and Conflict Management and Peace Building.

Languages are important to our program: English is a required subject, and students can take the TOEIC exam in the spring. Sustainable Development majors can take Spanish as an elective.
Students in this major do a group field project dealing with the topics of sustainable development and CSR, which is spread out over the school year.


Internships and Supervised Projects

Students may do an internship or take a gap year between the first and second years of the Master’s degree.
