Programme
Overview
Standard duration: 2 years distributed across 4 semesters.
MRID is essentially an academic and interdisciplinary programme lasting two years over four semesters. Academically, MRID has a mainly theoretical-conceptual focus and student-centred research skills. The theoretical-conceptual dimension consists of a critical approach to theories and practices of international relations and development in general, and particularly in Mozambique. The research dimension focuses on independent study skills aimed at producing academic knowledge that can also be applied in policy analysis, formulation and implementation in both the public and private sectors. Although academically focused, MRID values policy-oriented research focused on concrete problems to produce ideas and agents of transformation and development. In terms of interdisciplinarity, MRID recognises the practical and theoretical interconnection between international relations and development.
