Overview

EUCLID’s online Master in Sustainable Development and Diplomacy is based on EUCLID’s MBA/SD which was ranked #1 in 2016 for a good reason: it is offered by an international intergovernmental organization with a university mandate and specialized expertise in sustainable development. Historically, EUCLID grew out of the cooperation between universities and the International Organization for Sustainable Development (IOSD) which was the original SD international organization and which is now a EUCLID affiliated institute.

Academic Presentation

This online master’s degree program blends two streams of knowledge: sustainable economic development and international governance. Entrance into the program presupposed a good command of economics.

online master in sustainable development

The curriculum provides a progression of courses covering ecological economics (with case studies), sustainable development studies, and international affairs related to SD.

This program focuses on applicable professional knowledge and skills rather than the advancement of academic knowledge for its own sake. Also, sustainable economic development is considered from a Global South angle as well as from major Western/OECD sources.

This is a program that is also used by civil servants working for EUCLID Participating States and can be considered an excellent route to pursue a career within governmental bodies, NGOs, global corporations and international organizations.

Within certain parameters, the curriculum is customizable, with elective courses focusing on:

  • Sustainable Development Goals
  • Sustainable Development in Africa
  • Small islands issues
  • Culture and Development
  • Islamic Economics and Finance.
