About this programme
The master of arts (M.A.) in global studies is a two-year interdisciplinary “applied research” degree that combines scholarly rigor and practical skills. Students enrolled in the program will focus on analysis of transregional and transnational themes, events, and processes that affect states and societies around the world, such as: transnational social movements; movement of people; culture and literature; the diffusion of, and clashes over, political and social norms; and implications of global trade, investment, production, and employment patterns.
