Application for the Master's Programme in International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG)
Assessment of qualifications for applying.
Selection
If there are more applicants than there are places, the selection is based on an overall assessment of your academic and professional experiences, and how well the program fits your career goals. We therefore ask that, in addition to documents related to the entry requirements (i.e. transcript, degree, and certification that you meet the language requirement), you also up-load:
- a CV (maximum 2 pages) that gives an overview of your academic merits, and your experiences of organizational and/or professional life,
- a Statement of intent (the form is available below)
Upload the CV and Statement of intent to universityadmissions.se no later than February 1 (if you apply in the first admission round) or May 3 (if you apply in the second admission round). The CV and Statement of intent should be in English.
Please use the form, Statement of intent, which is available below. The form is fixed and the space is limited. The statement of intent should address the questions below, and be well structured and written, in clear and concise language.
- How have your past experiences (both academic and non-academic) shaped your interest in the Master’s programme in International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG) and what do you think your experiences will contribute to the IAGG program?
- What are your professional aims and aspirations and in what way do you think IAGG might help you develop toward those goals?
Priority will be given to applicants with 60 credits in one of the following disciplines: Political Science, Public Administration, Economics, International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, Global Studies, or Development Studies and International Development Cooperation.
Application
The master programmes start every September. You apply to the programme on www.universityadmissions.se. There are two application periods for the programme but each application period is directed to specific groups of students. Please note that there is one application code for the first period and another for the second. Only the code corresponding to the current application period is open.
