Other:

Recent societal challenges such as the global migration crisis, the war in Ukraine, or the rise of political extremism and increased social impacts of climate change call for experts to tackle the issues of mobility (migration and displacement of populations), inclusion, and diversity. In Europe and across the globe, well-trained specialists in intergroup relations and cultural diversity are needed to prevent marginalisation, conflict, and violence and to promote inclusion, social equality, and collaboration. We also need to understand how to support behavioural change so that people can more successfully engage with the global sustainability challenges. Global-MINDS is a timely master programme that responds to these needs by providing a training in psychology and intercultural skills – assets that are indispensable in today’s global knowledge economy and multicultural working environments.
