Programme

The M.A. programme "Intercultural Conflict Management" will be of most interest to individuals who are professionally active or have an academic interest in environments characterised by cultural diversity and conflict.

It is a response to the challenges of conflict, cultural diversity, forced and voluntary migration, violations of human rights and human exploitation. These issues have heightened tensions and social injustices for a growing number of individuals and groups at local, national and international levels.

This international programme is taught in English and is designed to bring students together from a variety of backgrounds and cultures to facilitate cross-cultural learning experiences. Students will be provided with an inter-disciplinary overview of the challenges facing multicultural societies and societies experiencing ethnic conflict.

Study in Berlin

Berlin - Never before has such a large city had the opportunity to recreate itself. And Berlin is certainly taking to the task quite admirably. Whether it is the glamour and glitz of the Sony Centre on Potsdamer Platz, Daniel Libeskinds new Jewish Museum, the hip cafes in Prenzlauer Berg, or the refined elegance of the newly founded diplomatic quarter, status quo is now very unfashionable in Berlin.

An extremely multi-cultural city of almost 4 million people - with the cultural resources to match - there is almost always something going on in Berlin. Whether you are into art museums, cinema, theatre, opera, discos or the café scene, there is certain to be something here to fit your tastes. And if you are more of an outdoors person, then never fear, because Berlin is one of the greenest cities in Europe - even within the city limits, you will find a spot where you can get away from it all.
