Introductory Sheet

The master's program in African Studies combines an in-depth comprehension of specific geographic regions such as North Africa, with a thorough study of international relations as a field of study and a form of politics, besides political, economic, social, and cultural issues.
African Studies offers some of the most diverse coursework ranging from art history to philosophy. It mixes theory and practice so that students are not learning solely from listening but from doing. It forces students to be active in the communities around them in a way like no other coursework.
Students are given the chance to study, analyze, and comprehend how states, international organizations, and other key players pursue their goals, reinforce their identities, and interact with one another in a complex and unstable international system. For a better understanding of the relationship equation between states (the key actor in IR) knowledge and its tools are required.
By integrating classroom work with fieldwork, the program equips students to follow a highly focused and challenging path of study. There are several ways for students to create international and multidisciplinary curricula that are tailored to their interests.
Furthermore, it is to unravel how appropriate, functional, and just the regional and international institutions, values, and laws that govern this relationship, and how can be sustained and strengthened. Between academics and the "real world", this course stresses not just obtaining information, but also employing it.

The program (course) is a great option for anybody looking for a job with an approach to sustainability and global focus, whether they are politically engaged and activist or they are employed in academia, government, administration, embassy, business, industry, or non-governmental organizations.
