The Bachelor’s programme in Global Studies at Maastricht University prepares students to understand and develop solutions for complex global issues. Our interdisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive understanding of global challenges from multiple perspectives and various disciplines.
Would you like to understand how different parts of the world are connected through global phenomena such as climate change and migration? Do you want to contribute to a more sustainable planet and debate solutions for a more just society? Are you interested in understanding global challenges through the lenses of psychology, law, economics, history, global health, politics, and sociology? If so, the new Bachelor's programme in Global Studies is for you.
Our programme is structured around five themes, each integrating knowledge, theories, methods, and academic and professional skills from multiple disciplines:
- Environment & Economy
- Migration & Citizenship
- Tolerance & Beliefs
- Peace & Justice
- 21st Century Learning
These themes are preceded by an introductory semester that introduces you to the field of Global Studies. You will receive two years of language training and have the opportunity to conduct a field study.
