Programme Brochure
The MA (Sustainable Development Practice), seeks to address a critical gap in sustainable development education in a region where such capacity creation is most required. The programme is designed based upon the recommendations of the global situation analysis of development training programmes undertaken during 2007 – 08 by the International Commission on Education for Sustainable Development Practice. TERI University is one of the ten universities worldwide selected by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, globally headquartered in Chicago, to receive seed funding to create a new master’s degree programme in Sustainable Development Practice. The programme aims to provide rigorous post-graduate training for a new generation of development experts.
The MA (Sustainable Development Practice) aims to develop an international cadre of development professionals, well-equipped to tackle, beyond cultural boundaries and across sectoral divisions, the interwoven challenges of extreme poverty, disease, climate change and ecosystem vulnerability, specific to the region. The programme has a strong cross-disciplinary cross-sectoral orientation and a practice focus. It draws on the teaching and research expertise of international leaders from numerous areas. It seeks to enhance knowledge and skills necessary to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals and promote best practice in the development sector. The MA (SDP) offers preparatory and mid-term seminars and workshops on basic subjects like communication skills and advanced quantitative techniques to enable students from diverse backgrounds to cope with the intensive coursework.
Scholarships
The MacArthur Foundation would provide 5 scholarships to eligible candidates.
The scholarship would only include tuition fee and the scholarship holders would be required to take care of their travel and lodging themselves.
