Borders are one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
The goal of the Master's programme 'Border Studies' is to enable students to acquire the skills needed in order to play a key role in current debates on national and European identity, global mobility, migration, cultural diversity, citizenship and transnational cooperation.
Students on the programme develop a comprehensive understanding of borders and of debordering and rebordering processes in Europe and in other parts of the world.
The trilingual M.A. programme is taught at four universities in Germany, France and Luxembourg and builds on a long-standing tradition of collaboration between these partner universities.
The consortium running the programme comprises:
Students on this programme are expected to demonstrate a considerable level of flexibility, self-reliance and personal responsibility. The partner universities provide assistance in finding accommodation and travel grants are available from the University of the Greater Region. The Franco-German University (Deutsch-Französische Hochschule DFH / Université franco-allemande UFA) supports student mobility by offering mobility grants from its scholarship programme fund.
The international Master's programme 'Border Studies' prepares graduates for careers in areas of transborder and intercultural cooperation, particularly in Europe's border zones and beyond. Career opportunities are available in the business sector, cultural institutions and agencies, the media and public-sector administration (e.g. cross-border regional and spatial planning, cross-border public services and development, cross-border cultural management and regional marketing).
Admission requirements:
A total of 20 places are available each year.
Students enrol at their home university. A simplified enrolment procedure is provided at the partner universities. Students are only required to pay the semester fee at their home university.
