Arbetsintegrerade politiska studier, masterprogram

Om programmet

## About

Policies and political decisions form and influence the social, economic, and environmental world in which we live. This program offers students both theoretical and practical learning opportunities to be better prepared for the world of political work and the work of the world.

Our interdisciplinary program, centered around Work Integrated Learning (WIL), prepares students to understand the complexity and challenges in contemporary politics in both theory and practice. The program structure and outline are framed and connected to the overall WIL research environment.

## Program information

The main field of study is Work Integrated Learning (WIL), leading to a Master of Arts degree (120 credits) in WIL with a specialization in political studies. The program is particularly useful for politically oriented professions in public administration, NGO´s and private corporations, in Sweden as well as internationally. The degree prepares students for professional work across cultural and national borders centered on governance-oriented issues.

The program's pedagogical philosophy is based on the belief that students are better prepared for the world of work if knowledge and skills are applied and challenged through internships and authentic workplace activities. This philosophy aligns well with the principles of lifelong learning, which is argued to be required in a constantly changing world, posed by challenges such as international conflicts, political polarization, and ineffective global problem-solving.

Students will be required to write a substantial thesis within the subject of Work-integrated learning, specializing in political studies as the culmination of their 2-year studies.
