Students in the MA in Global African Studies pursue interdisciplinary research across the humanities and social sciences. They focus on one of three specializations: Museum and Critical Heritage Studies, Diplomacy and Africa’s International Relations, or Afro-Arab Relations. Their work develops analytical, research-driven, and cross-cultural skills that prepare them to contribute to academic, cultural, and policy-focused initiatives globally.
