This course is designed for working professionals keen to improve their research skills and educational achievements while still in their regular jobs.
Participants tend to be policymakers and researchers working for international organisations, governments, public sector institutions, universities, NGOs and think tanks from across the developing and developed worlds. Many participants undertake the course to build on knowledge obtained by a Master’s degree in order to develop their career or as a foundation on which to start a PhD.
In support of working lifestyles, we provide a multi-disciplinary, blended approach to learning, including online and in-person modules and hybrid activities. In addition, we offer individualised research modules to support participants as they develop their research proposal or research project. Participants receive continuous personal feedback from experienced in-house researchers and have access to Maastricht University’s comprehensive library. In addition, participants have the option to follow an online module to allow for a specialisation in a particular field of interest.
