Program Description

The master in Global: Sustainable Societies - Social Change (Two Years) (MSc) provides a set of social science methods and tools for designing and applying solutions in real-life situations, within the framework of sustainable development goals, by looking into recent changes and trends in different regions of the world.

Academics and practitioners will use lectures, case studies, group work, and exercises to strike a balance between theory and practice and to stimulate interaction between participants.

The emphasis of the master in Global: Sustainable Societies - Social Change (Two Years) (MSc) is on issues of sustainable development and social change that cut across different countries and world regions, and how these issues are applied in local settings. Examples are globalization, social justice, equality, diversity, human rights, environmental challenges, climate change, and urban and rural development.

To create sustainable societies and social change, we use applied research based on close cooperation between the academic world and society. The program in Global Studies: Sustainable Societies And Social Change is interdisciplinary and focuses on cross-cultural, comparative research, and long-term social change.

You will learn during your master in Global: Sustainable Societies - Social Change (Two Years) (MSc) about various theoretical perspectives of sustainability, get experience in data collection and analysis as well as develop practical skills and experiences in planning and working for sustainable societies and social change.
