The MSc Development and Rural Innovation is the international social sciences programme for students with a technical, life science or relevant management background with an interest in international development and beta/ gamma integration. In Development and Rural Innovation, we develop professionals who are able to deal with knowledge processes in dynamic contexts. Programme structure Development and Rural Innovation is a unique, predominantly social science programme consisting of an amalgam of disciplinary and problem-oriented courses. The programme is taught in an interactive style where learning from each other is emphasised. The programme is highly thesis-oriented. The subject matter, methodology and design courses serve primarily as preparation for an empirical research project. This entails writing a research proposal, conducting the research and completing a Master thesis, thereby offering students the opportunity to apply their newly acquired insights in a concrete situation (usually in their home country) on a topic of their choice that is relevant to their professional interests and preferences.
