Graduate level courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences

How can we gain a deeper understanding of the continuous social, political and security changes around us? Especially as we navigate a world strongly characterized by information overload, where it becomes increasingly challenging to sort out misinformation and ensure a substantial foundation of knowledge for informed decision-making.

As part of our master’s degrees at the Faculty of Social Sciences, we offer a broad variety of graduate-level courses rooted in social analysis and the changing geopolitical dynamics of the world to our incoming exchange students. The courses cover topics such as:

• Climate change
• An aging population
• Digitalization
• New security issues
• Evolving policy making landscape

These are just a few of the challenges that characterize our time.

The goal of these courses is to provide students with the understanding and knowledge needed to navigate the ever-changing political and social climate in the digital age – and the challenges it brings.
