The Bachelor programme in Development Studies is an interdisciplinary programme where different theoretical approaches give insight into different and often overlapping disciplines, both within social and natural science. The programme provides basic knowledge within several disciplines like social anthropology, ecology, resource management and economy, and how to use this knowledge to find solutions to specific interdisciplinary problems.
