Overview

The Social Sciences (TransAtlantic Masters) programme from Humboldt University Berlin focuses on the comparative analysis of European polity, politics and policy from a transatlantic perspective. The full-time program consists of four semesters, which are completed at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's prestigious partner universities: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Bath, Freie Universität Berlin, Sciences Po Grenoble, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Università degli Studi di Siena.

Quick Facts:

This vast network of renowned universities gives students the unique opportunity to complete the programme at a minimum of two and up to three different sites of their choice in the US and Europe.
TAM is a truly international experience with regard to teaching, learning, and living! TAM students can choose to receive a Master’s degree from the University of North Carolina (M. A.), or they may opt for a degree granted by HU Berlin or one of the other European universities.
At Humboldt-Universität it is possible to study in German (TAM-German track) as well as in English (TAM-English track). Students have the largest range of options if they can study in both languages. Half of the compulsory classes are taught in English and the other half are offered in German. In consultation with the program directors, it is possible to replace compulsory courses with courses of comparable content in the chosen language from the regular course offerings. In agreement with the teachers, assignments can generally be submitted in German or English, regardless of the course language.
