Courses & curriculum

As a master’s student in Modern Political Culture, you will explore present-day phenomena of political culture by going beyond their surface appearance and reaching into the past to explain their incubation and gestation. For that purpose, you will engage with three interrelated areas of modern political culture: (1) political ideas (ideologies and sets of beliefs); (2) political languages (discourses and rhetoric); (3) political symbols and rituals (e.g. statues, monuments, commemorations, festivities, and election campaigns).
