The Master’s degree program in European studies focuses on European issues relating to politics, culture, and history. You will work with the theme of European diversity and everything that ties Europeans together.

You will focus on EU institutions and work with the analysis of cultural, social, and political processes in Europe and the question of what Europe actually is.
