Lund University’s flagship Master's in International Development and Managment (LUMID) is one of Scandinavia’s most sought-after postgraduates courses, with over 1200 applicants competing for the 40 places on offer each year. One of the attractions of the two-year programme is the 15-week work placement each fall/autumn. Inevitably, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many plans. While some organisations and students have identified ways to transition to new working arrangements (e.g. to desk-based engagement), others remain in a state of flux and uncertainty.
But perhaps the ‘new normal’ also creates opportunities. Do you work for an organisation involved in international development, e.g. a UN agency, a multilateral or bilateral agency, an NGO, an advocacy group, a social enterprise, or a think tank? Might your organisation be interested in hosting a LUMID student from September this year? If so, please contact Arvin Khoshnood, Programme Coordinator, for further information (lumid [at] keg [dot] lu [dot] se)
