Study offer

The Global and European Studies Institute offers four interdisciplinary and international Master's programs. Our study programs are characterized by consistent multi-perspectivity and close links to current research. They combine knowledge and methods from a wide range of classical disciplines.

In Global Studies, the challenge is to look at a global problem, then dive down from 50.000 feet to a case study, and then go back to achieve a meaningful conclusion that helps to understand that global condition.
