Course Overview

Innovation is the driving force behind this Master's Degree program in terms of teaching methods and educational materials. A great share of students’ time is organized into three types of sector-based learning programs, designed to provide for theoretical knowledge to begin with, with fieldwork and research in the global political setting, the European governance and the Euro-Mediterranean relations.

This is a full-time degree program entirely delivered in English with a compulsory attendance policy because of the interactive nature of its teachings. Discussing current social and political issues in the classroom, writing papers, conducting case studies, along with thematic presentation assignments, internship simulation workshops, and spending time abroad are key elements of a participatory method that has been in place for the program over the past twelve years.

In addition to the above, this is a dual degree, meaning that students will have to spend six months of their time in one of the partner universities throughout the second year.

At the end of this master’s degree program, postgraduate students will have the right set of skills and expertise to begin a successful career in any of the public, private and non-profit sectors dealing with administrative work, consultancy, mass communication and research.
