Overview

Interdisciplinary Latin American Studies from Freie Universität Berlin is a research-oriented postgraduate course of study which is intended for students with a degree in a relevant discipline.

Quick Facts:

The course of study stands in the interdisciplinary tradition of teaching and research at the Institute of Latin American Studies. In view of increasing global interdependencies, it aims to impart regional and intercultural competences that allow students an in-depth understanding of national, transregional and global processes. Students will be qualified to analyze historical, political and societal transformation processes and Latin America’s dynamics and to allocate them to their respective contexts. Based on the concept of Area Studies, a distinct regional specific expertise is imparted. Correspondingly, students will have the possibility to look more intensively into individual regions such as Brazil. Gender specific queries will also receive special consideration.
Using transdisciplinary forms of teaching and learning as well as new media in teaching (e-learning), the different traditions and perspectives of various disciplines will be implemented in the program. The course of study also offers the students an interdisciplinary academic exchange as well as intensive supervision which will ease the integration of foreign students.
