| Course content and focus areas | The
research-oriented Master’s programme in International
Studies/Peace and Conflict Studies is offered jointly by Goethe
Universität Frankfurt and Technische Universität
Darmstadt in co-operation with the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt.
The study programme takes a socio-scientific approach and offers
theoretical and normative knowledge at the junction between peace and
conflict research, international relations, political theory and
philosophy, and applies this knowledge to the current problems of
regional and global order. Students are made familiar with theoretically based and normatively founded perspectives on national, trans-national and global socialisation processes and acquire the ability to undertake a differentiated analysis of conflicts within and between states, as well as a considered development of strategies to settle conflicts and promote peace. Students take part in a research placement where they will carry out the research themselves. They can learn to apply their theoretical and methodological skills to an analysis of real ”cases” The interdisciplinary study programme’s focus is on political science, especially international relations. In addition to political science and its different focus areas, the master’s programme includes sociology and philosophy in addition to compulsory optional subjects such as law and economics, engineering sciences or natural sciences. These subjects are not subsidiary subjects in the conventional sense, but integrated into the master’s programme via certain problem fields and subject areas. This promotes intensive handling with, but also between, different theoretical and methodical practical approaches. In addition to specialist knowledge, the study programme also promotes students’ key skills. In order to develop team spirit, the students create content in working groups in seminars and present this information jointly. Different forms of learning, such as the staging of panel discussions or the simulation of negotiations, also teach presentation techniques. |
