Course description
Our MA program in International Relations (MAIR) dives deep into the study of politics beyond national borders. We explore this through the lenses of global governance and international political sociology. These perspectives help us understand ongoing globalization, international conflicts, and the rise of cross-border activities. What sets our MAIR apart is its unique blend of these two perspectives with broader social theoretical questions. This integration offers a distinctive academic experience. Students join a small, focused, and challenging program, conducted entirely in English. In our program, you will engage with complex global issues in a supportive and inclusive environment. We aim to foster a sense of trust and understanding, ensuring that every student feels valued and heard. Our approach is straightforward and clear, avoiding unnecessary jargon to make learning accessible to all. Join us in this rigorous academic journey and become part of a community dedicated to understanding and addressing the complexities of international relations.
