The programme aims at imparting interdisciplinary and interregional knowledge of current phenomena of globalisation. The programme provides an assessment of globalisation from the perspectives of both the Global North and South. The emphasis is on perspectives from the Global South. The programme comprises sociology, political science, anthropology, and cultural geography and offers additional courses in economics and data management. During the two years of the programme, students work in these disciplines at prestigious institutions on at least three continents. They study together in different parts of the world as a group composed of students from all over the globe. The intercultural, interdisciplinary, and intercontinental experience makes them experts on the currents of globalisation and the study thereof. Participating countries include Argentina, India, South Africa, and Thailand; students have the option of visiting other countries during an internship.
The course of study comprises three semesters on three different continents, each covering four modules. The four modules are globalisation, global governance, cultural change, and methodology. Each module corresponds to one course per semester. This is followed by an international internship and a final thesis semester. All courses are held in the style of a seminar and are weighted equally.
