Guide, facilitate and develop
鈥淯nderstanding global challenges, such as climate change and social inequality, requires collaboration between the different disciplines. Interdisciplinarity in education and research collaboration are therefore key to solving the challenges ahead.鈥�

The focus of Bergen School of Global Studies is master-level education, and it聽will help students to navigate relevant programmes, courses and PhD elevator courses聽taught in English.聽It will also facilitate connections to leading research groups within the University, but also throughout Bergen.

The idea聽for a 'school of global studies' in Bergen is not a new one, but it was formally explored by a working group led by Professor Haldis Haukanes听补迟听Department of Health Promotion and Development.聽She聽presented聽the report 鈥淭owards a school of global studies鈥� in 2019, which reccomended the聽formation of 'Bergen School of Global Studies' with聽an Advisory Committee ("B忙rekraftkollegiet") with聽members from all聽the faculties.

With the report in hand, and backed by the rectorate, Professor Siri Gloppen聽set out to create a Bergen School of Global Studies, established as part of the University's strategic work on Global Challenges.

The place for global studies
鈥淥ur vision is to make studying in Bergen even more attractive and worthwhile for students who seek knowledge and skills that can enable them to contribute towards solving global challenges鈥�, said Professor Gloppen, who also leads the聽.

Together with Professor Lise Rakner听补迟 Department of Comparative Politics, she will lead the work of finding the way and the will for coordinating the diversity of courses and research groups at 幸运飞艇计划 and Bergen.聽

BSGS will showcase relevant courses and activities to students, as well as facilitate and development cross-faculty collaboration and promoting new courses聽聽- to make the most what we already have. Particularily at master and PhD level, the connection between teaching and research is especially improtant.
