What is LAGLOBE? LAGLOBE (Latin America and Europe in a Global Word) is a multidisciplinary, international master’s programme offered by a consortium of three European universities with an outstanding reputation in their relative fields: Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, Universidad de Salamanca and Stockholms Universitet. The LAGLOBE program is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree that lasts two years (four semesters - 120 ECTS). It will provide academic and professional opportunities -in social sciences and humanities- in Europe and Latin America. The goal of our Master Relations between Europe and Latin America constantly evolve and develop, reflecting new realities in areas of common cooperation (social, economic, cultural, educative, etc.) in a rapidly evolving world (recent presidential elections and referenda, changing global alliances etc.). That is why, now more than ever, we have the intention to encourage the formation of future experts with both theoretical and practical knowledge. Our aim is to foster cooperation initiatives in areas such as good governance, environment, international trade, human rights, gender equality, poverty reduction, as well as to contribute to the strengthening of the ties between Latin American and Europe. We intend to equip future researchers and private sector and civil society actors with a better understanding of the interaction between the two regions, thanks to a multidisciplinary and multidimensional perspective. We also aim at preparing them for skilled jobs in the public sector, at international organizations or the private sector.
