Study Programme
Programme Overview
The Master’s programme in Development and Governance combines teaching in several political science sub-disciplines (development studies, international relations, peace and conflict studies, administration and policy studies, comparative politics of European Union, Sub-Saharan Africa or East Asia). The main emphasis is on acquiring knowledge of the relevance of different tiers and forms of governance-processes (local, national, international) both within established democracies and developing societies, and on training students’ analytical skills. The programme is thus providing students with both policy- and region-specific expertise.
We will offer additional courses or workshops depending on the availability of practitioners and lecturers and depending on the specific demands of students. The University of Duisburg-Essen is also offering different types of language courses.
