Master Social Policy
The Graduate Program Social Policy offers an internationally renowned, two-year curriculum that enables successful candidates to enter into positions in international organisations, government administration, welfare associations or civil society organisations.
The interdisciplinary master’s degree program includes courses in the origins and development of the welfare state and of civil society and seminars focusing on the analysis of European welfare regimes and the challenges they face within a globalized context. International and comparative social policy and specialized studies in selected areas of social policy as well as the development and effects of social policy measures are also part of the advanced curriculum.
Faculty members teaching in the program have expertise in sociology, political science, economy, health policy, and law. They work in distinguished research institutes at the University of Bremen, promoting a productive nexus between research and teaching.
The Graduate Program in Social Policy is aimed at students interested in professions that incorporate social scientific reflection, responsible action and research-oriented work. As it follows a genuine comparative and international approach and is taught bilingually, English language proficiency is an indispensable selection criterion in the recruitment process. The Master of Social Policy offers an international specialization in European Labour Studies, which involves studying one semester abroad. Also, with being a partner institute in the Transatlantic-Master-Program (University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill), we are able to offer a genuine transatlantic perspective to our students.
Application requirements include the following: A bachelor’s degree in one of the disciplines relevant to the program, i.e. in social science or economy or an academic field related to social policy, excellent study or research achievements in empirical social research and sufficient proficiency in German and English.
