Overview

Programme Overview

The Interdisciplinary Research program from Zeppelin University is designed for students with bachelor degrees in economics, sociology, cultural studies and philosophy, communication studies, and political and administrative sciences. It is particularly aimed at students with an interest in digitalization from a holistic perspective, who would like to work on a project basis and address the challenges of the future by looking at digitalization from a holistic perspective.

The new master's program creates the space to address scientific challenges in depth and to tackle big questions.

It enables students to think things through and implement an innovative research idea between economy, culture, and politics. Students also acquire skills that allow them to achieve scientific goals. The curriculum allows an individual interdisciplinary focus. This focus is always on the prerequisites and individual goal of each student.

Programme Structure

Courses Overview:

The unique IRMA master's program creates space and time for self-directed studying. Through “explorative learning”, the program facilitates interdisciplinarity and sharpens analytical skills which provide a reflexive understanding of a rapidly changing time.

Tutors decide on interdisciplinary general topics that are close to the individual research project, so that the students have outstanding perspective on a doctoral project or an academic career.
