- During their first year at the DA, students attend classes in the fields of political science, international relations, economics and international economic relations, contemporary history as well as international and European law. The students' interests, preferences and prior knowledge are taken into account in individual student counselling sessions. The knowledge previously acquired in undergraduate programmes is complemented and supplemented and the necessary basis for the analysis of specific topic areas during the second year is created.
- In the second MAIS year students apply the knowledge acquired during the first year in specialised courses and seminars to analyse problems and solve case studies. Methodological and interdisciplinary seminars, presented by experienced professionals from politics and science, prepare students for writing their Master’s thesis.
