Global Studies

1. A report links rising food prices in one region to a drought on another continent. What is your reaction?

2. You need a thesis topic – for example migration, global health governance, climate diplomacy or digital inequality. How do you approach it?

3. How do you deal with dense theoretical texts, such as world-systems theory or postcolonial thought?

4. In a simulation of climate negotiations, you have to represent a position you personally disagree with. What do you do?

5. The programme is taught in English, and your classmates come from different continents with different views on global issues. How do you see that?

6. Would you like to do fieldwork, such as interviewing migrants or staff of non-governmental organisations?

7. You need to compare development indicators across regions using international datasets. How do you feel about it?

8. Someone says: Globalisation only benefits the rich. How do you respond?

9. Which of these paths appeals to you: think-tank analyst, international organisation officer, NGO programme coordinator or doctoral researcher?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Global Studies?
