African development – from the past to the present
African development – from the past to the present -- offers a unique economic history perspective on Africa's development. Over a period of five weeks, the course covers a logical account of historical events and decisions that have shaped the current political-economical landscape of Sub-Saharan Africa - from the pre-colonial and the colonial era to the era of liberalisation, modern day Africa and the future prospects of the continent.
One does not need to have a dedicated historical interest to benefit from the course. The course targets a broad range of professional groups, actors, organisations and curious individuals – all sharing a common interest in improving their understanding of the limitations and opportunities inherent in the Sub-Saharan African continent.
LUSEM’s MOOC on African development runs over five weeks with a 3-7 hour workload a week. The course sessions run in a direct sequence one after another.

Catalytic Leadership for a Sustainable Change
This course emphasizes that systems-based changes are needed to achieve a sustainable world. In the past, dominant theories of change have neglected these complex conditions. In part, it includes the belief that change can be managed, planned, and controlled.
This course suggests more contemporary theories where you are more inclusive, being many stakeholders and use fluid ways of creating change. Similar compositions of ideas have been tested in the honours track Change Maker Future Track at LU School of Economics and Management.
