The German Academic Exchange Service’s (DAAD) EPOS funding program is extended to a limited number of international postgraduate programs, including the United Nations University Scholarships, Joint Master’s Program. The World Institute for Development Economics Research at the United Nations University provides policy recommendations and economic research to support just and sustainable development around the world. This was the United Nations University’s first research center, founded more than 30 years ago in Helsinki, Finland.
The Department of Geography at the University of Bonn and the United Nations University successfully collaborated to create this master’s program. With assistance from DAAD, it makes a substantial contribution to the University of Bonn’s internationalisation.
With the UNU Scholarship Joint M.Sc. Program, postgraduate students can address environmental risks and human security using an interdisciplinary approach by gaining in-depth information, critical insight, and the essential strategies and tools.
Together with the ZEF Doctoral Studies program and the ARTS program provided by the University of Bonn’s Faculty of Agriculture, this program is the third at Bonn to be funded by the German Academic Development Agency (DAAD).
