Master's in brief
On some Master's tracks you can earn a double degree together with a partner university abroad. You can also go on exchanges within the Institute's wide network of partner universities and join summer schools, workshops and internships organised by international consortia. Invited experts co-teach classes and give open lectures, and debates, simulations and your own research projects link academic knowledge with practice.
Master's graduates are prepared to work in international institutions, especially those dealing with European integration, as well as in think tanks and expert centres. They can also find jobs in state and local administration, education, the media, non-governmental organisations and cultural institutions, both in Poland and in their home countries, and the private sector values their skills too. If you are interested in research, the next step can be a doctoral school, for example the Doctoral School in the Social Sciences.
