Hi there,
I understand your motivation and your career goal. Even though I am not an expert in the UN recruiting processes, my guess is that there are MANY courses and MANY universities that are accepted from the UN.
Maybe there are some that the UN prefers - but I have my doubts. It may also depend on the specific UN department where you apply.
Also, keep in mind that - at the end of the day - the decision about your acceptance will always depend on your FULL profile - not just your university or course. For instance, it may be helpful if you have worked in the social sector already or did internships in social projects.
One thing you could do is: Check out Masters for social entrepreneurship, sustainability, or social issues. Maybe you can see on the websites' statistics who is recruiting on campus and whether the UN is engaged.
Good luck
Thomas
