Master Science Politique — Développement et action humanitaire

At Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne in Paris Cedex 05, France, the Master Science Politique offers a specialization in Développement et action humanitaire, connecting political science with the study of international development and humanitarian action. This branch of the discipline examines how development policy is designed and implemented, how humanitarian crises are addressed, and how international organizations, states, and non-governmental actors coordinate their responses. Typical subjects include development economics and policy, humanitarian law and ethics, the organization of international aid, project management for development and relief work, and the political dimensions of poverty, displacement, and post-conflict recovery. Students study how development and humanitarian programs are funded, planned, and evaluated, and how political considerations shape the priorities and effectiveness of international assistance. The discipline combines political analysis with practical knowledge of the humanitarian and development sector, preparing graduates for work that spans policy, field operations, and advocacy. Career paths associated with this area include humanitarian program officer, development consultant, positions within international organizations and non-governmental organizations, and roles in government agencies responsible for foreign aid and international cooperation. This is a master's-level program with a duration of two years, delivered in French at Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne in Paris Cedex 05. The program has an inferred start date in September, and yearly tuition is EUR 250.
