The European Master's Global Studies: A European Perspective is an interdisciplinary, research-based master's course offered by a consortium of four European universities: University of Leipzig, LSE, University of Vienna and University of Wroclaw. Combining approaches from global history and international studies, it also encompasses area studies, social sciences and other disciplines which contribute to a wide-ranging academic programme allowing different approaches to the study of globalisation processes.

The course is aimed at students with a first degree in social sciences and humanities with an interest in issues of globalisation. Minimum entry requirements are a BA degree (or recognised equivalent from an accredited institution), sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the chosen field, excellent written and oral command of English and at least basic German knowledge.

Students study for two years, one year each at two of the partner institutes, and applicants wishing to study at LSE for either their first or second year will be required to take the MSc Global History, based in the Department of Economic History.

Applications will be handled by the University of Leipzig and full details can be found at: www.uni-leipzig.de/zhs/erasmus_mundus
