In order to tackle them, an in-depth understanding of today´s complexities is necessary. Experts that are able to analyze the situation, give policy advice and cope with conflicting situations are desperately needed. The Center for Global Politics at Freie Universität Berlin offers two distinct blended learning master programs that help working professionals to navigate this complexity: ​ M. A. International Relations ​ M. A. East European Studies Each program is designed to allow you to stay on the job while gaining fresh insight and enhancing your global career perspective. They feature a unique digital platform, making them available via distance learning, with students enrolled from around the world. Course work is compatible with heavy work schedules and flexible for professionals who complete their studies from various global locations. The assignments on a digital learning platform are complemented by in-house classes held twice each year in Berlin. Our students and alumni are employed by governments and NGOs, business corporations, international organizations and the media. International Relations arms students with the tools necessary for acting in a globalized world. They create their own study focus in either Global Politics or Area Studies, and then select from a series of electives on various capital flows (migration, capital and finance, energy, ICTs) and policy issues (conflict management, global cities, cultural narratives). East European Studies is the world​s only blended learning master program on this region. The focus is on the political, economic, social and cultural developments in Eastern Europe. Students learn to analyze complex situations, give policy advice and reach mutual understandings. Further information is available online at http://www.cfa.global-politics.org.
