| Course Content and focus areas |
In our global age, people face a multiplicity of challenges across different spatial scale levels ─ from the local to the global. Understanding and dealing with these challenges is at the centre of our research-orientated Master's programme Geographies of Globalisation. What are the driving forces of globalisation processes? How do global markets function and what are the strategies that transnational enterprises pursue? Why and how is globalisation linked to spatial disparities? What significance does globalisation have for cities and regions ─ what socio-economic disruptions does it cause and how can we deal with them?
The Master's programme builds on the strengths of the Department of Human Geography in Frankfurt and offers two profiles: Urban Studies and Economic Geography.
