MA in Geopolitics - Charles University Prague

The GPS is a career-focused program that emphasizes hands-on experience. In the world we live in, such skills will always be in a high demand.

Geopolitical Studies is a unique, multidisciplinary programme, offering the students a chance to learn from the best academics and experts. The programme is primarily based on a geopolitical analysis but also includes aspects of the international relations theory and international law. The Geopolitical Studies programme studies how the interactions among world politics and geography have unfolded

in the most relevant geopolitical settings. The programme gives the students an opportunity to gain a profound knowledge of geopolitics and geostrategy, two disciplines which are becoming ever more important. The mandatory courses will provide the necessary theoretical background, while the electives will enable the students to choose their thematic and/or regional specialization according to their preference. Some of the areas that the specialized courses and modules will focus on include:
- World politics, great powers geopolitics, global power shifts, border hardening;
- Disintegration processes, failed states, violent non-state actors, unrecognized states;
- War, natural resources and conflicts, international law;
- Political risk analysis, foreign policy analysis;
- World regions and their position in the current global order;

Students will be introduced to the key concepts and theories and to the methodology and approaches to conducting a proper research in this field. Simulation and practical exercises will be also employed to enable the students to apply the knowledge gained to solve problems, which could occur in real-world scenarios. Our Geopolitics Research Centre makes it possible for our faculty, external experts, MA and PhD students to come together at events and activities such as:
- The Annual Geopolitical Conference;
- The Internship Programme;
- The Geopolitical Summer School;
- Professional development seminars led by academic staff;
- Alumni seminars;
- Round-table discussions with diplomats and other guest speakers;

As a conclusion of the study programme, the students will write their final thesis under the supervision of an experienced academic/expert, which will give them the opportunity to make use of the theoretical and empirical knowledge they have gained and to employ their analytical skills. The Geopolitical Studies programme would beyond any doubt further the prospective career of the students and greatly enhance their analytic skills in the field of geopolitics, policy analysis and international relations in general.
