MA/MS in Modern History and International Relations

This two-year track within the Research Master's in International Relations teaches independent academic research in modern history and international relations, exploring recent developments and their theoretical and methodological backgrounds. Topics include international security and armed conflict, crises in international economic relations, along with the history and politics tied to cultural identity, and European cooperation and disintegration. Students work in small groups supervised by researchers, with close links to Groningen's own Research Institute for the Study of Culture, known as ICOG, and the N.W. Posthumus Institute.
