The MIA emphasizes multi- and interdisciplinary courses that put equal weight on topics in business administration, economics, law, and political sciences and make use of innovative teaching formats. Specifically, the curriculum is structured along three pillars – thematic, methodological and professional - for an optimal balance between fundamental knowledge, empirical applications, and a professional education.
In addition, students may pursue one of four clusters of specialization:
- Security and Conflict
- Democracy and Governance
- Business and Public Policy
- Sustainability and Development
