Labour Policies and Globalisation

The "Labour Policies and Globalisation" course of study is conducted using research-oriented learning. The modules strive for an innovative curriculum focusing on student participation. New knowledge in and for the subjects will be jointly developed by both the academic teaching staff and students. Emphasis is placed upon investigating new types of research, new modes of studying, and broadening the interrelation between the academic fields and the trade union practices. Whenever possible, an interdisciplinary approach will be developed, striving to integrate the different cultural backgrounds of the students.
