Welcome

The Glocal Community-Development Studies program is a new MA program of the Faculty of Social Science at the Hebrew University. The program is designed to impart expertise in fields relevant to the development of local communities in impoverished regions across the world. The program extends over four consecutive semesters, including an internship with an international NGO during the third semester. The language of study is English.

The program provides tools for effective translation of academic perspectives into practical know-how conducive to work with communities across the globe. Therefore, in addition to three semesters of academic study at the Hebrew University's Mt. Scopus campus, the program includes one semester of an on-site internship with an international NGO. The program is taught in English and is open to both Israeli and International students.

For individuals with a global perspective on the one hand, and an appreciation for local solutions on the other, this program offers a unique opportunity to gain expertise and to play a meaningful role in development efforts.
