Kurzbeschreibung

Since 2004 the Global Labour University (GLU) network is offering this Master Programme on sustainable development, social justice, international labour standards and trade unions, economic policies and global institutions.

This unique global programme is jointly developed by universities and workers organisations from around the world and aims at those candidates who have experience with labour and social movements, and who are willing to assist organisations in these fields to engage more effectively in social dialogue, public debate, and policy implementation. Participants will analyse and discuss in a multidisciplinary fashion the challenges of globalisation from a labour and trade union perspective. The programme offers a multi-cultural and multiregional environment with students and lecturers coming from developing, transition and industrialised countries.

The courses take place at the University of Kassel and the Berlin School of Economics. Participants have also the possibility to study one term of the programme in South Africa or Brazil and one term in Germany. Women are strongly encouraged to participate. Applicants should, as a rule, not be older than 40 years old.

The Global Labour University is supported by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Hans-Boeckler-Stiftung (HBS), the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) and the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ). A limited number of scholarships are available. The endorsement by a trade union is a requirement for a scholarship. The scholarship is conditional on a contribution of 1500 Euro from the supporting trade union or another donor.
