Modern German and European Studies, M.A.

Our International Master’s program in Modern German and European Studies aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge of Germany and its role in the European Union. As our Haifa Center for German & European Studies (HCGES) cooperates with local and global academic departments and programs, our students benefit the opportunity to focus on European-related issues and perspectives.

Our interdisciplinary curriculum offers students relevant courses in social sciences, humanities, economics and law, alongside intensive German language classes. These prepare them for careers in relevant international, German, Israeli, and European interfaces, including academia, business, tourism, communication, the media, cultural and public administration.
