In addition to the repeated basic seminars, a constantly changing broad spectrum of seminar topics is offered. The forms of teaching include simulations (e.g. World Model United Nations, EU Commission and EP), excursions (above all Brussels, Strasbourg, Ukraine), teaching research seminars, lecture courses, international video conferences and combination of seminars with conference events. Each Semester, at least six English-speaking courses are offered. Assistant professors from the field of Politics regularly enhance the range of courses offered.

Initially, the IOCM MA, which is taught in English, communicates the basics of research on international organisations and crisis management. Students subsequently specialise in various policy areas and organisations. The programme focuses on practical relevance and international elements. Practical elements include a compulsory excursion, an executive module, and a summer school with a practical simulation. International elements include a compulsory semester abroad at selected partner universities as well as lectures by international guests.
