International Relations and Development Policy

University of Duisburg-Essen

Graduate Winter Semester

The master’s course combines well-founded theoretical training in the field of international relations with intensive training in the sub-field of development policy. In addition to the relevant theories and topics of international relations - regional cooperation and integration, international organizations, globalization, international economic relations, etc. - the degree course pays particular attention to theories of global governance, peace and conflict research, North-South relations and development policy Practice. The course experiences a second unique selling point through its regional focus on East Asia, Europe and Africa (primarily Sub-Saharan Africa). The concentration and application of theoretical knowledge on these regions allow practical and application-related access to development policy issues.

The subject-related and timely component should be promoted through an eight-week stay abroad, which, depending on the inclination, can take on a more theoretical-academic or a decidedly practical orientation. In the third semester there is a regional specialization in two regions and in the fourth semester the master's thesis is written.
