The Master programs at Karls

There is a need for responsible and active transformation in a globalized world, in which multiple crises, unethical practices and unsustainable developments frame the current economic social and political systems and lifeworlds.

During the Master’s degree you won’t be taught abstract, isolated knowledge. Rather, after building a rigorous foundation on different fields, theories, and practices, real world challenges and issues will be critically investigated and discussed in a community of enquiry. You will learn to reflect analytically and interconnectedly in order to develop practical-oriented strategies and policies to tackle complex matters.

Focusing on an interactive and inter- and transdisciplinary style of teaching, in our small-size classes, professors, lecturers and fellow students are a team that will inspire and support your personal development related not only to an expertise, but also an integral  responsibility, and sustainability practice..

During the Master programs at Karls you will learn how economic, social, and cultural sciences are connected and how you can transfer ideas from multiple perspectives and disciplines. As a well-rounded leader, you will motivate and engage people in business and civic society organizations.

During your last semester, largely dedicated to research you will have the opportunity to reflect your experiences, insights and knowledge in your Master’s thesis systematically.
