Overall content

The object of the advanced study course is to provide students with advanced knowledge in a specific research area within one of the three themes of Global Studies: Global Politics, Global Sociology or Global Political Economy. At least two advanced study seminars are offered each semester. The range of courses will change each semester, within the following topics:

Global Politics: • International state institutions and global governance • Regionalisation and regional integration in international politics • International security • International law and human rights

Global Political Economy: • Work and globalisation • Natural resources and geopolitics • Trade, investment and global production networks • International financial economics

Teaching and working methods

The course is based on lectures, but will also encompass other forms of teaching and work, including group work, exercises, student presentations, peer feedback and field trips, as well as other practical activities.

Form of examination

Individual oral examination on the basis of the syllabus. The oral examination has a total duration of 60 minutes, divided between 30 minutes of preparation time (including time to draw a question) and approximately 30 minutes for the oral examination, including assessment. The course teacher sets 8-15 examination questions which in sum cover the syllabus. The student draws two random questions at the start of the examination. These two questions form the starting-point for the examination, in which the student, after preparation time, presents and discusses the questions on the basis of the syllabus.

In the examination, questions may be asked relating to any part of the entire course syllabus. All examination aids are permitted in the preparation room. In the examination room, only notes written during the preparation time are permitted. The course teacher may however permit particular examination aids to be present in the examination room, such as prepared hand-outs or the like.

Form of re-examination

Re-examination takes the same form as the ordinary examination
