Global Studies Maastricht University

Overview

Global Studies from Maastricht University is all about crossing borders, and not just geographical ones. You will cross disciplinary boundaries by bridging disciplines and eventually conducting an interdisciplinary final thesis, cross Euro-centric perspectives by reading authors from other locations and conducting a local or international field study, and cross the limits of your own comfort zones by leading your own and your peers’ learning experiences in intensive, small-scale tutorials.

Careers 

Given the interdisciplinary nature of the Global Studies programme, you will have a strong academic foundation to pursue a variety of Master's programmes in The Netherlands and around the world.

With a bachelor's of science degree in Global Studies you can be admitted to the MA Globalisation and Development Studies at Maastricht University without having to fulfil additional requirements as this programme continues directly on from themes and skills within Global Studies. Other Maastricht University programmes offer direct admission for BSc Global Studies graduates as well, including the MSc Public Policy and Human Development.
