Intensive faculty advising and work in small groups encourage the communicative exchange and an active learning community. The Course The two-year degree programme Public Economics, Law and Politics (PELP) MA requires 120 ECTS credit points and is concluded with the Master’s thesis during the fourth semester. The programme unites disciplines that have traditionally examined the relationship between state, society and economy. Questions, problems and solutions that emerge from this complex network of relations will be analysed from the perspective of Political Science, Economics and Law. The causes, the contexts and the social and economic effect of state action stand at the centre of this programme. In addition, the programme also focuses on development theory and policy which will be of special interest to PPGG candidates. Students are provided with an academically grounded, yet interdisciplinary, account of how politics, law and economy interact. Classes are mainly taught in German, but there are also classes that are taught in English. Photo credits: Michael J. Zirbes, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lüneburg 6 1.
