This programme consists of two years of coursework in four intersecting disciplines-health, natural, social, and management sciences-combined with cross-sectoral field training.

Students from around the world are assigned the same readings and then join their classmates for a live weekly on-camera sessions with global experts. The programme is monitored by the Global Association Board of Master’s in Development Practice (MDP). At the moment, there are 31 universities in 6 continents offering this programme globally and the MSDP programme at USM is offered in Kuala Lumpur since September 2014. |
