If so, the Political and Democracy Research M.A. is the program for you. &lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;p&gt;As a student in the Political and Democracy Research program, you will take an academic approach guided by theory and methodology to understand the factors that pose a threat to the future of liberal democracy.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Typical questions that will come up during your studies include:&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;ul class=\\&quot;wp-block-list\\&quot;&gt;\\n&lt;li&gt;Who votes for whom and why?&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;li&gt;How can the rise of populist parties be explained not just in Germany, but in all liberal democracies?&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;li&gt;What measures can a liberal democracy take to defend itself from being undermined by fake or \\&quot;bullshit\\&quot; news?&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;li&gt;Are democracies inherently more powerful than autocracies?&lt;\\\/li&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/ul&gt;\\n\\n\\n\\n&lt;p&gt;Unique aspects of the program: Democracy is studied as a part of many master\\u2019s degree programs, but our Master of Arts in Political and Democracy Research sets itself apart because the program helps you to develop your own sound hypotheses founded on the current state of research and guides you in systematically testing and refining them.

Do you want to learn another language and get to know a new culture? Or gain a different perspective on your particular subject? A stay abroad provides you with the perfect opportunity to achieve this and is possible with every degree program&nbsp;\u2013 either self-organized or by taking advantage of one of the popular exchange programs. This is made possible by various cooperation agreements and partnerships with foreign universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">For more information on this topic, please visit our websites on studying abroad. Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/jgu.to\/studium\/austauschoptionen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">student exchange platform<\/a> for an overview of cooperating universities in your field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">This program of study does not require you to spend time abroad, but you nevertheless have the opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you did not get to go abroad while pursuing your bachelor\u2019s degree, <strong>take the chance to study or complete a longer internship abroad now<\/strong>. A stay abroad is an amazing and unforgettable experience. Residing in another country enables you to become familiar with its geography, its inhabitants, their everyday life and customs, and the local language and culture more closely than if you were just touring for a brief time.

If you choose to complete a 9-week internship, the break between the 2nd and 3rd academic semesters is the best time (if you started your studies in the winter semester).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voluntary internships are another good opportunity to obtain more in-depth insight into a professional field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An internship allows you to discover whether everyday life in a particular occupation suits your career expectations and interests.

Mainz after I completed my bachelor\\u2019s degree. It was at JGU that I became familiar with and, more importantly, learned to apply various different methods of research. I therefore not only learned how to carry out my own studies\\u00a0\\u2013 from data collection to analysis\\u00a0\\u2013 but also how to critically scrutinize the work of others.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was particularly impressed by the spectrum of topics covered in the degree program. We studied electoral behavior, digitalization, political parties and communication, representation, the effects of climate change, and more. Each semester was an opportunity for me to consolidate what I had already learned and to broaden my interests to include new topics in democracy studies. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In addition to the content, my awesome peers and dedicated teachers contributed to my success in the degree program. &quot;,\n    &quot;subline&quot;: &quot;Jessica Haak | Alumna&quot;,\n    &quot;background&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;wide&quot;,\n    &quot;enableVideo&quot;: false,\n    &quot;video&quot;: {\n        &quot;provider&quot;: &quot;youtube&quot;,\n        &quot;id&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;poster&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n    },\n    &quot;title&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;buttonText&quot;: &quot;Play Video&quot;,\n    &quot;displayType&quot;: &quot;row&quot;,\n    &quot;color&quot;: &quot;red&quot;,\n    &quot;bigZitat&quot;: false,\n    &quot;useBackground&quot;: false,\n    &quot;fullWithImage&quot;: false\n}\"><\/jgu-base-testimonial>\n\n\n\n<jgu-base-testimonial react-props=\"{\n    &quot;image&quot;: {\n        &quot;id&quot;: 74580,\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/studium\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/12\\\/2024\\\/02\\\/Testimonial_EDF_Boeckmann.jpg&quot;,\n        &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Testimonial_EDF_B\\u00f6ckmann&quot;,\n        &quot;width&quot;: 253,\n        &quot;height&quot;: 300\n    },\n    &quot;zitat&quot;: &quot;After earning my bachelor\\u2019s degree at Mainz University, I was initially looking for a change, but then I decided to stay so I could enroll in the Empirical Democracy Studies master\\u2019s program since I wanted to broaden my skills in quantitative methods and because I found the focus on comparative political science and political sociology so appealing. The seminars comprised a broad range of highly pertinent topics and the fairly small number of students meant that our dedicated and supportive instructors could offer close supervision, which was highly motivating. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I\\u2019m currently doing my doctorate abroad, for which my master\\u2019s degree prepared me well, in terms of both content and methodology. Therefore, I I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to pursue an academic career. But even beyond academia you have many options, particularly thanks to the solid (quantitative) methodological education you gain in this master\\u2019s degree program, which sets it far apart from other political science degrees.&quot;,\n    &quot;subline&quot;: &quot;Larissa B\\u00f6ckmann | Alumna&quot;,\n    &quot;background&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;wide&quot;,\n    &quot;enableVideo&quot;: false,\n    &quot;video&quot;: {\n        &quot;provider&quot;: &quot;youtube&quot;,\n        &quot;id&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;poster&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n    },\n    &quot;title&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;buttonText&quot;: &quot;Play Video&quot;,\n    &quot;displayType&quot;: &quot;row&quot;,\n    &quot;color&quot;: &quot;red&quot;,\n    &quot;bigZitat&quot;: false,\n    &quot;useBackground&quot;: false,\n    &quot;fullWithImage&quot;: false\n}\"><\/jgu-base-testimonial>\n\n\n\n<jgu-base-testimonial react-props=\"{\n    &quot;image&quot;: {\n        &quot;id&quot;: 74574,\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/cms.zdv.uni-mainz.de\\\/studium\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/12\\\/2024\\\/02\\\/Testimonial_EDF_Schwall.jpg&quot;,\n        &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Testimonial_EDF_Schwall&quot;,\n        &quot;width&quot;: 200,\n        &quot;height&quot;: 300\n    },\n    &quot;zitat&quot;: &quot;After my bachelor\\u2019s, I was looking for a more specific concentration on the functionality of democracies and political sociology while expanding my skills in quantitative research, so I decided to pursue the Empirical Democracy Studies master\\u2019s program at Mainz University.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Students are able to choose the content of their studies to a large extent, which made it easy for me to individualize my focus and pursue my own interests. We worked with current research in all areas and gained insight into highly interesting developments.

Firstly, my studies challenged me, enabling me to make a huge leap forward compared to the level of knowledge I had in my bachelor\\u2019s. Secondly, this is thanks to the close, friendly support I received from my instructors. I particularly enjoyed working together to conduct research projects\\u00a0\\u2013 from data collection to the finished work.
