The Master’s course in “Global Studies – A European Perspective” trains students to look at processes of globalisation in different academic ways. It combines approaches from Global History and International Studies. Cultural Studies, Area Studies, Social Sciences and other disciplines contribute to a wide-ranging academic programme.

The two-year Master’s course in “Global Studies – A European Perspective” is offered by five European universities, namely: Ghent University (Belgium), Leipzig University (Germany), Roskilde University (Denmark), University of Vienna (Austria) and University of Wroclaw (Poland) and nine further partner universities: Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia), Dalhousie University (Canada), Fudan University (China), Jawaharlal Nehru University (India), Macquarie University (Australia), Otago University (New Zealand), University of California at Santa Barbara (USA), University of Stellenbosch (South Africa) and the University of Yaoundé I (Cameroon).

Students study for one year at one of the European partner institutions, and for the second year at a different European university. Additionally, there is the possibility to spend one semester at one of the non-European partner universities.
