Kurzbeschreibung

The Master’s program in Global Political Economy aims to help students to develop a critical understanding of the numerous theoretical approaches and practical issues as well as the wide spectrum of institutions, actors and processes in the Global Political Economy. It should also enable the students to apply this knowledge in practice.

The Master’s degree program is interdisciplinary in design; the faculties of Social Sciences (Politics and Sociology) and Economics play a pivotal role.

The program has an international module that encourages students to participate in work-study programs abroad. The Kassel program collaborates with the following universities: Universidad Estadual De Campinas (Sao Paolo), Paris X (Nanterre), Rutgers University (Newark, NJ, U.S.A.), University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg) and York University (Toronto). Lecturers from these partner programs will periodically offer seminars.

For international students, the Kassel curriculum may be of special interest as it goes beyond the standard International Political Economy programs by elaborating on the EU as an important region in the world economy. Students may also take courses at the Language Center (e.g. German, English, French, Spanish, German for Economists, Political Scientists and Sociologists) to facilitate their studies. During their stay in Germany, international students can learn German in a four-week intensive course before the program starts as well as four hours weekly during the semester (charges apply for language courses).
