Political Science: Critique - Rule - Transformation (Master)

The Master's degree course, which focuses on the analysis and critique of political rule and social transformation, offers the opportunity to develop your own specialization through a combination of compulsory and elective courses. Basic modules cover questions of state, law, democracy and social policy; political economy (of work), political ecology, gender relations, globalization and North-South relations as well as comparative political science and region-specific phenomena (e.g. EU or Latin America).

Students can then delve deeper into post-colonial, feminist, materialist or post-structuralist perspectives, for example. To this end, students can choose courses from the range of courses offered by the Political Science department, replace a sub-module with a seminar designed by the students themselves and attend courses from other degree programs and subject areas (after consultation with the respective supervisors).
