Key learning outcomes In order for students to be able to grasp the studied phenomena in context and be able to adequately connect the acquired knowledge, the concept of study involves a combination of several approaches to policy research, which logically follow each other, and interconnect and create an interconnected system. Great emphasis is also placed on the acquisition of communication and presentation skills and teaching foreign languages (English or German), which are necessary not only because part of the literature on compulsory and optional subjects is assigned in foreign languages, but especially with regard to the possibility of applying graduates and the skills they have acquired in future employment.
Specific admission requirements unspecified
