Master in Global Affairs
The Global Affairs MA program aims to provide a rigorous professional, interdisciplinary education to train the next generation of global institutions, think tanks, global civil society, and private sector leaders. It also aims to equip students with in-depth knowledge and the contextual perspectives needed to become successful, well-rounded professionals and leaders in a complex world. Emphasis is therefore laid on intellectual curiosity, interdisciplinarity, and regular engagement with policymakers and institutions. The program generally focuses on how states, inter-governmental, and global non-state actors interact with each other in a globalized world.
The Master Global Affairs takes place over two years. Each year is divided into 2 semesters. The first three semesters are devoted to teaching modules: 6 modules per semester. The fourth semester is devoted to the completion of a master’s thesis.
Le master Global Affairs vise à fournir un enseignement professionnel rigoureux et interdisciplinaire pour former la prochaine génération de dirigeants d’institutions mondiales, de Think Thanks, de la société civile mondiale et du secteur privé. Il vise également à doter les étudiants de connaissances approfondies et des perspectives contextuelles nécessaires pour devenir des professionnels dans un monde de plus en plus complexe.
L’accent est donc mis sur la curiosité intellectuelle, l’interdisciplinarité et l’engagement régulier avec les décideurs politiques et les institutions. Le programme se concentre généralement sur la façon dont les États, les acteurs intergouvernementaux et les acteurs non étatiques mondiaux interagissent les uns avec les autres dans un monde globalisé.
