Course Description

The Master in Economics & Social Sciences is a degree enabling students to acquire skills in law, economics and sociology related to the three dimensions of sustainable development, economic growth, social cohesion and the protection of the environment. As part of the training, students acquire knowledge about politico-administrative institutions, their involvement in the Pacific area, governance arrangements and policy instruments (financial as well as political tools, for example, participatory procedures).

It is a complete multidisciplinary training program which allows you to acquire a bilingual professional competence in French and English.

This degree is recognised worldwide, not only locally. It is therefore an international degree providing access to further doctoral studies.

The course content is contextualised in Vanuatu. In addition to the lectures, tutorials are taught by local teachers who adapt the disciplines to the regional context. A support in e-learning is associated.

Courses are taught in both French and English.
