Thank you for choosing our program for your advanced studies. We are delighted to have you on board as you embark on this exciting academic journey.
To help you settle in and make the most of your time here, we have organized a series of welcome activities. The Welcome Week for students of the MA programme Labour Policies and Globalisation (LPG) will be held from October 7-12, 2024. It will feature both LPG-specific events and general events from the International Office of the University of Kassel. Additionally, some sessions will be organized with the MA programme in Global Political Economy and Development. During these days, you will have the opportunity to meet your fellow classmates, connect with faculty members, and familiarize yourself with the resources available to you at the University of Kassel. We would like to inform you that the detailed program for the welcome activities will be shared with you by the LPG Programme Coordination Office.
