Programme

Representing the first degree programme of its kind world-wide, the aim of the Global Studies Programme (GSP) is to provide students with a profound knowledge, methods and practical skills for the comparative analysis of the social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of globalization processes in a research-led institutional framework (Global Analysis).

Studying at three places on three different continents in a flexible and student-centred learning environment makes the difference: It makes students aware about the relativitiy and constructedness of societies, politics and cultures. Besides their further qualification as experts of transnational interconnections strengthens their intercultural competence (Global Experience).

People with a degree in Social Sciences (Global Studies Programme) are qualified for a wide range of jobs in academic settings, international and non-governmental organizations, in government, private companies and businesses which require analytical capabilities, teamwork and leadership skills (see also Career Perspectives).
