Global Studies Programme Humboldt University Berlin

Overview

The goal of the Global Studies Programme from Humboldt University Berlin is to analyze the social world we live in by research and work towards envisioning and realizing alternative futures. The programme requires a Master's Thesis. 

Quick Facts:

• The students are expected to reflect on their GSP education, experience, and research in the final thesis. We encourage our students to continue as researchers after GSP and pursue a Ph.D. 
• We accept applications from all parts of the world. The applications are received by HU Berlin. The core requirement is to have a Social Science degree and fluency in English. The student groups are always mixed in all possible terms such as nationality, age, disciplinary background. We are aware that this multiplicity is not free from the all-encompassing impact of global inequalities. Within existing structures and limitations, we do our best to counter-balance.  
• Every year hundreds of students from all parts of the world contact us and declare interest in applying to our programme. Almost all of them register with us to receive more information on the application procedure. Up to two hundred students take the final step and start the application process. Because of application mistakes, missing documents, or other reasons, up to a hundred students do not finalize their application. The academic committee will receive more than a hundred applications to choose thirty/thirty-five students.
