Overview

The current world order is under pressure due to global challenges such as the effects of climate change, migration and the rapid development of digital technologies.

Balancing the protection of their own interests with conflict and crisis prevention, international organizations, states, civil societal and private players negotiate, debate and argue every day about how to deal with these challenges of global governance. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has emphatically highlighted the critical importance of domestic and foreign political processes.

Thematic focus and course structure of master's program

This new International Relations and Global Politics course from Zeppelin University creates the space and time for students to tackle these current challenges in depth, in areas such as security policy, war and peace, development policy and environmental and climate policy.

It teaches students which non-state players have an influence on political processes, and equips them with the specialist skills and understanding of the conditions required for successful and sustainable models of international politics.

The curriculum allows students to prioritize political science topics of their choice, with a range of required elective modules available for advanced studies. Further information on the academic minors on offer as part of the course, and all other key topics, can be found in the “Structure & content” section.
