Overview
The Master's Programme in International Humanitarian Action is multidisciplinary and is given in cooperation with several universities in Europe and the world. The programme provides you with a high-quality academic education and professional competencies for a career in humanitarian action, emergency and disaster relief, and development at both national and international levels. The programme also has an alumni network which can support you in your future career. This joint European Master's programme is organised through the Network on Humanitarian Action (NOHA) and involves studying abroad. The programme was launched in 1993 because of growing concern about the increase in disasters and conflicts in the world and the complex consequences for society. To address these questions, it was felt that a more professional approach was required, combining academic higher education and professional competencies. The programme is one of the best-established Master's programmes in humanitarian action. The Master's programme has been awarded Erasmus Mundus Programme status several times. The language of instruction is English.
