Master's Degree in Governance of Companies and Territories in Transition

The dual-discipline Master's program in economics and political science entitled "Governance of Societies and Territories in Transition" (GSTT) is a continuation of the dual-degree program in economics and political science, created in 2021 at the University of Montpellier, which offers students high-level training in these two disciplines. As an extension of this, the Master's program is open to students who have received a solid education in the social sciences, particularly in economics and political science. It will prepare students for careers in the future or in evolving sectors.

The content of the Master's degree in Economics and Political Science has been designed with a view to the major challenges that are transforming the organization of our societies and territories: energy and ecological transitions, transportation and mobility, health, digital technology, etc., but also democratic and cultural transitions and institutional developments.

This multidisciplinary Master's program, unique in France, brings together teams from the economics and political science departments at the University of Montpellier in a balanced way.
