The master's specialisation in Global History and International Relations provides a strong basis for your career as a historian or researcher. You can also work as a manager, policy officer, journalist or researcher at cultural and heritage institutions, government agencies, consultancies, archives, international organisations, or in the media.
Upon completion of this programme, you will be able to relate contemporary social and political issues to long-term developments: a skill that is highly sought-after in various positions, companies and industries.
Are you more interested in academic research or teaching at a University? Then this specialisation will also help you build strong analytical skills, enabling you to conduct independent research. This provides excellent preparation for a PhD trajectory.
