Understanding the World
.png)
By focussing on the study of the world, this track aims at deepening one’s understanding of the world through the analysis of history, economy and politics of Western societies in the post-colonial era. Students will be able to relate self-centred views of the West to a more universal perspective of social, political and economic organisation.

Please bear in mind that for the INTERNSHIP there is no pre-established schedule yet, as the timetable must be agreed with your internship and/or track supervisor. Once you have chosen the elective subject from your TRACK—in case you want to do it—you can meet with your supervisor and show them your calendar. Together you will decide the exact schedule for your internship. As an approximation, you should do about 150 hours (corresponding to a 6 ECTS module).
Students for whom English is not their mother tongue, a level of C1 (Common European Framework of Reference) is required.
Students must have completed the 60ECTS at the home university, which equals the first year of the bachelor's degree studies.
The final decision will be made by the academic coordinator of the programme.
