Selected programme options include European Master in Global Studies — two years, 120 ECTS, with mandatory mobility. These are selected examples, not the full catalogue. Availability, campus, mode of study and teaching language must be checked for your intake.

A recognised three-year bachelor's equivalent in humanities or social sciences, with at least 25% relevant Global Studies coursework. Overseas degree equivalence is assessed individually. Motivation, academic preparation and recommendations form part of selection; applicants must also satisfy the programme's language and mobility requirements. Teaching is generally in English. The application document list specifies IELTS 6.5 overall with every section at least 6.5, or approved alternatives. It lists TOEFL iBT 80 on the earlier scale or overall 4 with each section at least 4 on the 2026 scale. An official English-medium degree certificate can support a waiver. Additional foreign-language knowledge at A2 is required; native-English applicants have distinct language-evidence conditions.

For students starting in 2026, participation costs are EUR 2,600 per year. This is not a confirmed 2027 price or the full living-and-travel budget. Winter/summer school travel and living expenses are additional; extending beyond the normal study period can incur further participation charges. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.

The published 2026/27 cycle closed on 28 February 2026 at 23:59 CET for Erasmus Mundus scholarship applicants and 31 May 2026 at 23:59 CET for other applicants. Both dates have passed. A 2027/28 timetable was not confirmed at review; do not reuse the earlier dates as future deadlines. The two-year joint curriculum begins in the winter cycle and includes two compulsory mobility periods outside the applicant's home/residence country. Confirm the permitted track, partner locations and the next cohort's arrangements before budgeting. A semester start date is not an application closing date. Check scholarship and visa timelines separately.
