- Description/content
- The study programme is structured to provide for interdisciplinary studies; social, political science and cultural studies disciplines actively interface with economic disciplines. In this content, the study programme focuses on the international context, and in particular on the European context.
The lead faculty for the Master's programme is the Faculty of Social Science. The programme also involves the Faculties of Economics, History, Philology and the Faculty of Philosophy and Education. This approach guarantees a wide-ranging selection of courses and course contents.
The study focus encompasses both interdisciplinary and disciplinary courses.
The programme offers basic modules (first study year) in:
• Philosophy and European Law
• European Economic History
• Culture and Language
• European Economics
• European Policy and European Society
• Empirical Research Methods
A specialisation in two of the above-mentioned fields takes place during the second year of study. In addition, a special research seminar is offered in combination with a four-day excursion to Brussels.
It is possible to integrate a two- to three-month internship during the second year of study.
