Global-MINDS (master's two years)

Global-MINDS is a comprehensive 2- year study programme focusing on insights from Social and Cultural Psychology and applying them to contemporary societal issues. Students receive a thorough education in social and cultural psychological theory, research and methods, as well as training in intercultural skills – assets that are indispensable in today´s global knowledge economy and multicultural working environments.

The programme includes an internationalization component that is indispensable for such a master. Universities from five countries jointly deliver the Global-MINDS programme in English:

• ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute (ISCTE-IUL), Lisbon, Portugal
• University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS), Warsaw, Poland
• Koç University (KU), Istanbul, Turkey
• University of Limerick (UL), Limerick, Ireland
• University of Oslo (UiO), Oslo, Norway

Global-MINDS students opt for one of three mobility paths for their first year of study, during which most of the course work is completed. Each mobility path focuses on a specific societal issue and provides students with diverse cultural experiences and educational contents:

• Diversity & Inclusion (ISCTE-IUL, then UL)
• Global Mobility & Acculturation (ISCTE-IUL or SWPS, then UiO)
• Culture & Organizations (SWPS, then KU)

Students may opt for an additional mobility in their second year to complete their internship and master thesis.
