International Studies

In International Studies, you will study developments in one of eight regions of the world and learn to understand them in a global context.

During the programme you will specialise in one of these regions, while also learning one of the region’s major languages. Our multifaceted approach will allow you to study the historical and cultural background of the region of your choice, as well as its political and economic developments. In the third year, we offer a unique consultancy course. You will work on solutions to issues presented by leading organisations such as Unilever, UN agencies, the War Child Alliance and the European Space Agency.
