Professional Master’s Degree

Academic agreement signed with the University of the Americas and the Caribbean (UNAC)*. Upon completion of your master’s degree, you will receive a professional certification valid for United Nations recruitment processes and other international organizations.

This agreement allows our master’s programme to be endorsed by two institutions:

• Kalu Institute
• UNAC (University of the Americas and the Caribbean)

*UNAC (IAU-030679) is listed in the World Higher Education Database (WHED), the global directory of accredited higher education institutions in 196 countries. You can verify UNAC’s listing here: https://www.whed.net/institutions/IAU-030679 

Joint certificate signed by these two institutions, which validates:

• Your Master’s Degree in International Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid
• 1,500 hours of specialized training
• A practical, updated curriculum focused on humanitarian fieldwork

In addition, the certificate includes a detailed transcript of your grades, the total number of hours completed, and an online verification code to confirm its authenticity.

OPTIONAL – University Master’s Degree with RVOE (Ministry of Education, Mexico)

After completing our programme, students may apply directly to UNAC for the official validation of their studies.

This process will require an additional academic assignment and payment to the university. The result is a degree recognized by the Secretaría de Educación Pública of Mexico, valid for pursuing doctoral studies in Mexico and abroad.

This is an independent process between the student and UNAC; KALU does not charge any fees for this validation.
