“Research-intensive on development studies”

Pedro T

Portugal, Graduate
Development Studies, 2021

Overall

On of the most interesting masters I've seen in the last few years. Interacting with other student is a must if you want to succeed in this masters.
Being a research-intensive masters student is not easy. Lots of work on long assignment, long ready hours and not much time if you're working full time.
However, definitely worth it if you are looking for a more in-deep perspective analistic masters on a broad range of different matters.

Pros

In-deepth learning methods

Cons

To much to study with very little amount of time.

Final comments

Travel/study abroad is great for anyone. It gives a different perspective and lots of great experiences. Research the programme first, make sure it is right for you as it's a lot of money if it isn't.
