MA in "Glocal" - International Development Studies | Master's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 18 months | The Hebrew University of Jerusalem | Israel

The world is a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem. Global processes affect local realities, and local encounters shape global transformations. At Glocal, we believe in the power of communities. Communities have the capacity to assist people in dealing with challenges, uncertainty, and unexpected changes in their lives. Glocal teaches international development, with a strong community focus. In our 18-month graduate program, you will learn to translate academic research into a practical understanding of community development which will be conducive to empowering communities in need across the globe. Inspired by a global perspective, Glocal offers its students theoretical knowledge together with practical local solutions. Upon graduation, Glocal students are equipped with cutting-edge theories and expertise whilst comprehending and engaging with the complex challenges facing marginalized communities on the ground. Glocal’s unique approach builds on a strong academic 14-month curriculum drawing on a variety of social science disciplines, followed by a practical 4-month internship spent in international organizations working with local communities across the world. There, students will build on their newly gained skills and knowledge and expand on them by learning from the community. Every year Glocal students successfully support innovative and practical programs helping local communities around the world which support their economic independence, community cohesion and strength, sustainable management of natural resources and much more.
