IES Abroad Berlin – Security Studies & International Affairs

The city of Berlin has had a tumultuous geopolitical history: its destruction in World War II, its hostile division during the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, and the country’s growth as a major cultural, economic, and political force in the 21st century. This history and its present importance make Berlin the ideal place to study Security and International Relations.

Your coursework takes advantage of Berlin’s position as Germany’s capital, and the country’s role as a leading state in the European Union. The English-taught courses explore the history and challenges of European security policy, espionage, and strategic intelligence during the Cold War and beyond, the roots of global terrorism, and the challenges of migration. You will additionally be able to attend courses on EU politics, transnational film, marketing, and more.

Berlin will be your classroom. Imagine studying the European and global challenges that Germany faces then walk among the remnants of the Berlin Wall—a stark reminder of the city’s turbulent past. Or wander through the vibrant Turkish Market while learning about migration in Germany. As part of this program, you will also take part in a four-day trip to Vienna, where you’ll visit United Nations agencies and institutions that are relevant to your coursework.
