International Organisations and Crisis Managеmеnt

Testimonials

I chose IOCM because I felt truly inspired. It was a dream to find a Master’s program that could offer me the tools I need to achieve my goals and I found it here. (...)  I am very grateful to have the IOCM program and FSU backing me up in my mission to raise my voice as a global citizen, and for providing me the knowledge and experience to make a positive difference. 

I chose to continue my studies at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena due to the uniqueness of the IOCM Masters programme. First and foremost its broadening of understanding about peace and conflict studies, by offering a more complex understanding, which has included challenges such as refugee flows, pandemics and human rights violations. (...) Secondly, I chose to sit the IOCM programme due to its offering of a possibility to study abroad during the duration of the course. I was fortunate enough to study at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, and believe my experience there helped further my understanding of the topics covered within the IOCM curriculum from a different perspective.

I decided to study IOCM because the program is unique, diverse, and comprehensive. In my opinion, it is the perfect mix of scientific education and practical exercise and therefore an excellent preparation for a career in international organizations and the field of crisis management. We learn not only about international organizations as crisis managers of natural disasters, refugee- or economic crises, but also what it means when organizations themselves or even global orders are in distress.
