Overview
Erasmus Mundus European Master Global Studies
The Master Course ‘Global Studies - A European perspective' is an interdisciplinary, research-based Master offered by a consortium of five European universities:
The study programme at Leipzig, London, Roskilde, Vienna, Wroclaw
According to the emphasis upon certain fields within the participating universities and its already existing Master programmes - which the MA in 'Global Studies - a European Perspective' is drawing upon -, students can specialise in particular areas of globalisation research:
- at the University of Leipzig on comparative analysis of global entanglements, focusing on Eastern Europe, Western Europe, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Northern Africa and the Middle East, Latin America and Northern America
- at the London School of Economics on the economic and social history and analysis of globalisation
- at the Roskilde University on development studies, global political economy and global governance, political culture and civil society
- at the University of Vienna on methods of global history, as well as the cultural and social history and analysis of East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Central Europe and Latin America
at the University of Wroclaw on the analysis of transformation processes in Central and Eastern Europe, security issues, regional cooperation, communications and the media
The European Master in Global Studies is a two year's Master and divided into four phases (two winter and two summer terms). The programme has a modular structure according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), as initiated by the Bologna Process. It is made up of 120 credits (30 credits each term), that is equivalent of a study workload of 900 hours per term or 1,800 hours a year). You will find more information about ECTS on: http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/socrates/ects/index_en.html
Should the student fail to have met all of the required examination criteria by the end of the fourth semester of the course, the student will be offered the chance of enrolling in a further semester of the course in order to fulfil the units required. In the case of an extension to the study period, full tuition fees will be incurred. Should the student not wish to extend the study period in order to complete the course, a partial transcript of only the successfully completed modules will be awarded.
