This English‑taught master’s programme is designed to deepen your scholarly understanding of international politics, political order and international law. It combines political science with related disciplines — such as history, sociology and international law — so you develop a well‑rounded analytical toolkit for studying state and non‑state interaction at the global level. The course structure allows you to shape your profile by choosing and combining modules and by taking an additional elective area and courses from the Studium.Pro offering.
Graduates are prepared for responsible roles in international organisations, constitutional bodies, administrative authorities, research institutions, the media and non‑governmental organisations. Alumni of the programme work in places such as the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Statistical Office, embassies, political foundations, research centres, higher education and the private sector, demonstrating the degree’s strong employability across public and private spheres.
The programme has a genuinely international environment, with students and alumni from roughly 30 countries, and includes an optional “European Studies” specialisation offered in cooperation with the Université de Fribourg (Switzerland). A semester abroad (recommended in the third semester) and opportunities for internships abroad reinforce the intercultural and practical dimensions of the degree. The programme reports a high completion rate (over 90%) and a long track record of graduates (a triple‑digit alumni body).

Admission requirements
This programme requires applicants to hold a completed professional university degree of at least six semesters in a related subject area and to take part in the programme’s aptitude assessment. The acceptable fields listed are politics, society, history, economics or languages; alternatively, applicants with a law degree may also apply under a different minimum grade requirement.
International applicants should verify how their national degree and grading scale compare to the German system (the programme specifies a minimum overall grade of 2.5, described as “good,” or “satisfactory” for law degrees). Participation in the aptitude testing process is mandatory — check the programme’s website or contact admissions for details on the format and scheduling of that assessment.
