Aims:
The aim of this subject is twofold. On the one hand, it aims for students to study a particular subject in depth within the areas of the Master’s degree (International Relations, International Public Law, International Economics, etc.). The aim is to reinforce students’ specialisation profile while they critically explore and acquire specific knowledge of the thematic niches of their choice.
On the other hand, the course aims for students to put into practice some of the transversal competences worked on throughout the Master’s programme. In particular, students will make use of their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to contemporary international issues, their capacity for research, critical analysis and synthesis, and their capacity for written expression in academic format.
