    Learning outcomes

    The GLOBAL COOP GMas­ter’s course has been designed to address the objec­tives of the pro­gramme and to enhance stu­dents’ employ­a­bil­i­ty and poten­tial aca­d­e­m­ic per­spec­tives. Refer­ring to the “Euro­pean Qual­i­fi­ca­tion Frame­work”, the GLOBAL COOP Mas­ter’s cor­re­sponds to the learn­ing out­comes for “EQF lev­el 7”.

    The knowl­edge, skills and com­pe­tences of GLOBAL COOP grad­u­ates includes:

    • (i) Advanced knowl­edge and exper­tise: stu­dents acquire cut­ting-edge knowl­edge in spe­cif­ic method­olog­i­cal skills aligned with Option SFC or IAM and eco­nom­ic pol­i­cy fields, aligned with Track 1, 2, or 3, while embrac­ing a com­mon “triple plu­ral­ism” per­spec­tive encom­pass­ing the­o­ries, meth­ods, and disciplines;
    • (ii) Sys­temic under­stand­ing: joint projects and “inter-track” joint sem­i­nars attend­ed by the entire cohort, and elec­tive spe­cial focus­es at the inter­sec­tion of dif­fer­ent Options and Tracks, stu­dents devel­op a deep under­stand­ing of the sys­temic inter­ac­tions between a wide range of eco­nom­ic policies;
    • (iii) Spe­cialised skills and com­pe­ten­cies: the pro­gramme equips stu­dents with the skills need­ed to nav­i­gate com­plex eco­nom­ic pol­i­cy inter­ac­tions and oper­ate effec­tive­ly in inter­na­tion­al, mul­ti­cul­tur­al settings;
    • (iv) Crit­i­cal think­ing and prob­lem-solv­ing: GLOBAL COOP fos­ters crit­i­cal aware­ness of sus­tain­able pros­per­i­ty issues, enhances prob­lem-solv­ing abil­i­ties to address diverse chal­lenges, and devel­ops strong team­work skills;
    • (v) Com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills: stu­dents improve their pro­fi­cien­cy in local lan­guages (see the lan­guage pol­i­cy). They gain the abil­i­ty to com­mu­ni­cate ideas clear­ly and effec­tive­ly, both in writ­ing and oral­ly, tai­lored to diverse con­texts and audiences;
    • (vi) Ver­sa­til­i­ty and employ­a­bil­i­ty: grad­u­ates are well-pre­pared to tack­le real-world eco­nom­ic chal­lenges, meet­ing the needs of employ­ers in the pub­lic and pri­vate sec­tors. They are equipped to address issues in both Glob­al North and South, fos­ter the dia­logue between the dif­fer­ent regions of the world, and pur­sue careers in a vari­ety of sec­tors such as com­pa­nies, con­sul­tan­cies, min­istries, reg­u­la­to­ry agen­cies, mul­ti­lat­er­al organ­i­sa­tions and research cen­tres, enhanc­ing their com­pet­i­tive­ness and efficiency.

    These learn­ing out­comes under­score the com­pre­hen­sive scope of the GLOBAL COOP pro­gramme, which is designed to equip grad­u­ates with a diverse and robust set of skills and com­pe­ten­cies. This ensures their abil­i­ty to excel in the field of eco­nom­ic pol­i­cy and con­tribute mean­ing­ful­ly to tack­ling glob­al challenges.

    Academic opportunities and employability

    GLOBAL COOP Mas­ter’s grad­u­ates are able to address the main prob­lems of eco­nom­ic poli­cies for the glob­al tran­si­tion and be pre­pared to respond to real life prob­lems in a vari­ety of nation­al and pro­fes­sion­al con­texts. Grad­u­ates are also to research and thus pre­pared to start a PhD after graduation.

    GLOBAL COOP offers a dis­tinc­tive frame­work to build and enhance stu­dents’ social cap­i­tal and employ­a­bil­i­ty. It pre­pares them to face new chal­lenges and adapt to evolv­ing labour mar­ket demands. The inte­gra­tion of poten­tial employ­er net­works among non-aca­d­e­m­ic asso­ciate part­ners and the align­ment of the pro­gramme with their needs will fur­ther improve stu­dents’ career prospects. Beyond the main cours­es, the pro­gramme pro­vides a com­pre­hen­sive range of knowl­edge, soft skills, and com­pe­ten­cies essen­tial for pro­fes­sion­al suc­cess, includ­ing entre­pre­neur­ship and communication. 

    The pro­gramme also fos­ters stu­dents’ and alumni’s active par­tic­i­pa­tion in demo­c­ra­t­ic debates, address­ing crit­i­cal pol­i­cy issues and engag­ing key stake­hold­ers such as pol­i­cy­mak­ers, jour­nal­ists, researchers, and cit­i­zens. Addi­tion­al­ly, stu­dents will gain at least basic pro­fi­cien­cy in three lan­guages through class­room instruc­tion at part­ner insti­tu­tions, includ­ing Eng­lish and the lan­guages of the coun­tries on their study pathway. 

    Employ­a­bil­i­ty and aca­d­e­m­ic oppor­tu­ni­ties is enhanced by the large net­work of part­ners and asso­ci­at­ed part­ners, com­ing from both the aca­d­e­m­ic and non-aca­d­e­m­ic worlds and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet promi­nant researchers and prac­ti­tion­ers in some of the cours­es and in par­tic­u­lar in the “inter-track sem­i­nars”.

    Final­ly, the GLOBAL COOP Stu­dents and Alum­ni asso­ci­a­tion will con­tribute to the new grad­u­ates’ employability.
