About the Study of Conflict and Democracy Studies
The Conflict and Democracy Studies program is a full-time Master’s program offered by the Department of Political Science. The standard duration of the Conflict and Democracy Studies is four semesters. Typically, the first three semesters are devoted to coursework, while the last semester is a thesis-writing semester. Coursework includes reading assignments, written assignments, class presentations, and exams. During the last semester, students write their Master’s theses. All courses are taught in English. The language of assigned readings, exams, and individual consultations is also English.
Courses are divided into two categories: compulsory and optional courses. Compulsory courses constitute the core of the program. All of them must be completed in the course of study. Also, the program offers optional courses. The number of optional courses taken must be such that the credit requirements for optional courses are fulfilled. Credits are awarded for successful completion of the courses.
To be able to register for the final Master’s exam in Conflict and Democracy Studies, students should earn a total number of 120 credits, out of which 92 credits (including 20 credits for a Diploma Thesis course) should be earned in compulsory courses and 20 credits in optional courses. In case the ECTS value of the compulsory courses is changed during your studies, the students are required – provided ECTS credits for obligatory courses are lower due to the change – to compensate for the missing credits by taking some optional courses of the appropriate ECTS value. However, since courses external to the program have their registration rules, the Conflict and Democracy Studies program cannot guarantee that students will be allowed to register for their preferred external courses and does not assume any responsibility to this effect.
