Description
GeT MA – The German Turkish Masters Program in Social Sciences – is a unique, interdisciplinary, two-year masters program, offering an excellent academic experience in two of Europe’s vibrant capitals: Berlin, Germany and Ankara, Turkey. GeT MA is a dual-degree masters program taught in English and designed for students from all over the world pursuing international careers in government agencies, diplomacy, public policy, NGOs, administration, consulting, journalism, teaching or research. GeT MA students attend graduate courses in the social sciences at the Middle East Technical University (METU) Ankara (year one), Turkey and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany (year two). Teaching and research in the GeT MA program have an interdisciplinary focus: this international masters program covers various sub-disciplines in political science and sociology while incorporating cultural and economic questions into the curriculum.
Academic courses are taught by highly qualified professors from different academic disciplines on various topics such as modernization and democratization, Europeanization, and migration. Students deepen their empirical knowledge of political processes using Germany, Turkey, and other countries and regions of Europe as examples. A unique characteristic of GeT MA is Joint-Teaching: each semester one course is taught jointly by faculty from both universities. By experiencing academics from Germany and Turkey within one course, GeT MA students come to understand social science topics from different perspectives, encounter individual teaching styles, and enjoy the benefits of both university systems.
