Inhalt
All students attend their first year of studies in Ankara and their second year in Berlin.
Courses in Political Science, Sociology and International Relations offer a specialized perspective on politics and society in Turkey and Germany, German-Turkish relations as well as the European dimension of domestic and foreign politics in both countries.
The GeT MA program prepares students for international careers in government agencies, NGOs, administration, journalism and research.
The GeT MA curriculum focuses on three distinct research areas:
* Politics and Society in Turkey;
Turkey as a regional and international player;
* Politics and Society in Germany;
Germany as a regional and international player;
* European Integration, European Institutions,
Europeanization, European politics of Turkey and Germany.
Teaching and research within the GeT MA progam have a clear interdisciplinary focus. All modules and courses cover – in addition to the main focus on political science – sociological, cultural and economical questions.
This interdisciplinary approach becomes manifest through the participation of professors from different academic disciplines: Political Science, Sociology and International Relations. Additionally, several interdisciplinary workshops and colloquia are planned.
Individual specialization is possible from the start:
Students choose from a variety of electives offered by the already established MA programs at both universities:
* "Comparative Government",
* "Global Politics and European Integration" and
* "Social Transformation" at METU.
* "European and Trans-Atlantic Studies"
