Master in Comparative and International Studies (MACIS)

The four-semester Master of Arts in Comparative and International Studies (MACIS) is a research-oriented graduate program of the Center for Comparative and International Studies (CIS). The MACIS curriculum combines comparative and international political science to teach students about the complex inter-relationships between national, international, and transnational political processes.

Special emphasis is placed on methods, theories, and research-oriented work. In this respect, the MACIS also sees itself as preparation for the doctoral level. Of the national and international applicants, about 20 students can be accepted each year. The course is taught in English.
