Course description
Global challenges like climate change, migration, and the rapid rise of digital technologies are straining the current world order. Every day, international organizations, states, civil society, and private actors engage in negotiations, consultations, and debates to address these issues. They balance their own interests with the need to prevent conflicts and crises. The Covid-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of these domestic and foreign policy processes. In the interdisciplinary two-year Master's degree program "International Relations & Global Politics | IRGP," students learn to independently ask critical questions about these global governance challenges. They develop research-based solutions, equipping themselves to tackle the pressing issues of our time.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants with an undergraduate degree in a different subject unfortunately cannot be considered for the one-year master’s qualifications. For a one-year master’s study program in Corporate Management & Economics, you will need an undergraduate degree in management and economics with at least 240 ECTS points. For the one-year master’s study program in Politics, Administration & International Relations, you will need an undergraduate degree in politics or administrative sciences with at least 240 ECTS points. Applicants who do not have German as a native language will need to provide evidence of their knowledge of German (Level C1). At the request of the university, applicants must provide the relevant evidence within the prescribed limitation period, and must also submit a declaration that they have not definitively failed an examination in a study program at any other German university (in a subject closely related to their chosen course at Zeppelin University), that they have not lost the right to sit examinations for any other reason, and that they are not currently involved in any ongoing examination proceedings.
