*MA Global Political Economy at the University of Kassel*

www.uni-kassel.de/go/gpe

Application deadline: 1 April (students with an international BA) and 15 
June (students with a German BA)

Program start date: 1 October

INTERDISCIPLINARY DESIGN
The MA GPE is interdisciplinary in design. Classes are taught by members 
of the faculty of social sciences at the University of Kassel, mostly 
from politics and sociology. A number of economics classes are also open 
to GPE students.

INTERNATIONAL SCOPE
In the last years, around three-quarters of the students were 
non-Germans with diverse home countries from Albania to Vietnam. 
Lecturers from foreign partner universities frequently teach classes 
(Universidad Estadual de Campinas in Brazil, Rutgers University Newark 
in the USA, Tata Institute of Social Sciences in India, Universidad 
Nacional de San Martin, Argentina, and University of the Witwatersrand 
in South Africa).

Students have access to a range of international exchange programs, in 
addition to Erasmus, with universities in Africa, Brazil, India, and the 
United States. Erasmus Scholarships are available for all students.

SCHOLARSHIPS
There are a few work-study scholarships available for students from DAC 
countries. There are also scholarships available for MA candidates 
conducting dissertation field research in developing countries.

PRACTICAL COMPONENT
Despite its theoretical orientation, the MA GPE includes an important 
practical component. Students complete an internship of at least eight 
weeks and have the opportunity to take part in field trips to cities 
such as Brussels and Geneva, where they visit institutions and NGOs 
operating in the field of European and global governance.

TUITION
The University of Kassel does not charge tuition fees.
