A specialisation course aims to allow students to immerse themselves in the theories/theory lines and empirical issues pertaining to a particular subject area. The course equips students to competently select and argue for the applicability and relevance of a theory/theory line to given issues. The courses offered are based on the Institute's research in the field and knowledge of the highest international standard. The specific subject area of the courses will be described in the activity description.

Current Global and Development Challenges and Solutions addresses various global and development challenges, such as conflicts, questions of justice, inequality, sustainability, and effects for instance on states, markets and civil society.

"Teaching methods:

Courses are based on lectures, but will also include other teaching and working methods such as group work, exercises, student presentations, peer feedback and field trips as well as other practical activities.

A number of written tasks must be submitted during the course, which are distributed to the students and on which they may provide feedback to each other. The number of tasks is determined by the lecturer and the Head of Studies and is approved by the Board of Studies before the programme is offered for enrolment. The submission dates are set by the lecturer no later than two weeks before the start of the course and communicated to the participants. The description of what each task must contain must be reported no later than two weeks before the submission date.

Handing in the assignments on an ongoing basis is not required in order to participate in the examination, but typically it would be an advantage to do so. Thus, part of the portfolio can contain elements related to the teaching and ongoing submissions, such as feedback.

Individual written portfolio.

The portfolio consists of 2 written products, that wholly or partially are developed during the course. For example, products can be exercise responses, speech papers for presentations, written feedback, reflection, written assignments. The preparation of the products may be subject to time limits.

The character limit: maximum 28,800 characters, including spaces. The character limits include the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices.

The portfolio's specific products and the (if relevant) recommended size (character limit) for the individual products are made public on study.ruc.dk before the course begins.

The entire portfolio must be handed in at the same time. The submission deadline will be public on study.ruc.dk before the course begins.

The assessment is individual and based on the entire portfolio.
