| description | This short note deals with the presentation and the evaluation of a Master Course in African Studies offered since 1992 by the Higher Institute for Labour and Business Studies in Lisbon. This Course is now in its 13th edition and has trained a total of 315 students, 104 of them having finished their studies with the submission and approval of a Master thesis. The main points of the Course presentation deal with the origin and nationality of the students, with the disciplines in which they have obtained their university degrees and with the institutions where they have studied. Two critical points are also mentioned: the success rate of the Course, i.e. the percentage of students which have concluded their Master studies with the approval of their thesis — about 43% for the first 9 editions of the Course — and the time needed for the completion of the Course — average time of 44 months. This Note ends with an agenda of future work needed for a comprehensive evaluation of this type of training. |
