Master's Programme in Global Studies

The Master's in Global Studies at the University of Gothenburg prepares students to tackle today's most pressing global challenges, such as climate change, environmental degradation, and armed conflicts. The program profoundly explains how different actors, including states, international organizations, and economic players, interact to address these issues. It emphasizes the complexity of global challenges, offering analytical tools to identify political alternatives and solutions. The interdisciplinary approach combines historical and socio-ecological perspectives to examine global problems from various angles. Students learn to navigate the transnational dynamics of political, social, economic, and environmental forces that shape the world today. In the first year, students gain broad analytical knowledge and apply it through simulations, problem-solving, and internships. The second year is research-focused, culminating in a Master's thesis. This program encourages students to think critically and lead change toward equitable socio-ecological solutions.
