First year: Foundation Coursework
During the first year, students will acquire strong and interdisciplinary foundations in Transnational Law, Politics and Institutions, Economics, and a historical perspective on Transnational Governance. They will understand the emergence, actors and practices of Transnational Governance; the drivers of the contemporary shift in global interdependence and its implications for democratic systems.
Internship
In between the first year foundation courses and the second year consolidation elective specialisations, students will acquire practical experiences during which they can begin to apply their first-year learnings in a professional environment. Students will explore internship opportunities with myriad partner organisations, and are encouraged to bring forward oppotunities of specific interests to them.
Second-year: Elective Coursework, Executive Training Participation and Concluding Research Project
During the second year, students will consolidate their expertise in transnational governance in one of the five Consolidation Areas offered and will have a broad range of topics to choose as a free elective. In addition, students can also benefit from courses and events in focal themes.
They will also choose whether they want to write a Master Thesis or work on a Capstone Project for their concluding study.
Additionally, they will also participate in Executive Training Seminars to advance their professional skills development and network with attending practitioners.
The Consolidation Areas (CA) in Transnational Governance are:
- Digitalisation
- Economy
- Politics
- Security
- Sustainability
Focal Themes are Gender Governance and Comparative Regional Governance.
