MA in Political Science / 1 YEAR / 2 YEARS / Our international curriculum helps you develop a critical understanding of the challenges contemporary political communities and their citizens face. We move across borders and disciplines to give you a comparative perspective and hands-on, transferable skills. To gain an even more comprehensive picture, you can join cross-country research projects and apply for research grants and travel funds to attend conferences.  

Our program comes in two formats, with the one-year version offering a more intensive study experience. The two-year version is an ideal stepping stone for PhD research and training, thanks to a more extensive research period.
