Master of Science in Globalization

During this two-year International Master’s programme in Globalization, you will explore the interrelations between the economic, technological, cultural, social and political dimensions of globalization and choose between two specialisations: Global Technology Management and Global Politics and Culture.

You will also gain practical experience through a semester-long internship in a global corporation, multilateral organization or international campaigning group. If you are an International student, your internship will take place in Norway. If you are student with a Norwegian or Nordic educational background, your internship will take place outside Norway. The aim of the programme is to provide you with a general understanding of the form and consequences of the processes of globalisation, combined with an in-depth knowledge of one of the two fields of specialisation. The course will investigate globalization as a multi-dimensional phenomenon with a focus on its implications for civil society, state power, changing patterns of national culture and global markets and technologies.

The Master’s programme in Globalization is a unique inter-disciplinary cooperative programme involving NTNU’s Faculties of Social Sciences, Humanities, Engineering and Technology, and Information Technology, Maths and Electronics. It is part of NTNU’s university-wide Globalization Programme, which comprises 180 researchers in departments across the university.
