Apply Now for UNU Intensive Core Courses

The Autumn 2023 session of the UNU Intensive Core (UNU-IC) Courses will be conducted in hybrid mode from 1–29 September 2023. Apply by 7 July!

Applications are now open for the Autumn 2023 session of the UNU Intensive Core (UNU-IC) Courses. The session will be conducted in hybrid mode from 1–29 September 2023. Lectures will be delivered on-site at the UNU Headquarters Building in Tokyo, Japan and live-streamed for online participants.

Every year UNU-IAS organises these four-week courses in Tokyo, Japan. They are designed to provide analyses of global issues from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Drawing on research projects undertaken at UNU-IAS and other UNU institutes, the courses provide students with a solid background in the essential theories and multilateral approaches to issues of sustainability and development while emphasising interdisciplinary perspectives.

The courses are unique in their extensive engagement of invited scholars and practitioners as guest lecturers, many of whom are experienced UN professionals, to provide students with insights into relevant policy issues and practical challenges. Although advanced in nature, the UNU-IC courses are open to postgraduate students and professionals in a wide range of fields.

The application deadline is 7 July 2023.
