Master in European Studies: EU Politics

The programme is offered by the Institute of European Studies (Faculty of Social Sciences) at the University of Wroclaw. The curriculum focuses on EU institutions, law, economics and policies, but also on specific knowledge related to European geopolitics, management and the information society. In seminars, workshops and discussion sessions, students will analyse problems related to the EU's policies, EU's external relations, the area of freedom, security and justice, EU governance and more.

The MA programme is a postgraduate one that requires candidates to hold a BA or MA degree in any subject. The programme is taught entirely in English by experts in their field. The course lasts two years and is divided into four semesters, the first from the end of September to mid-February and the second from the beginning of March to the end of June. To obtain the Master's degree, graduates must complete 120 ECTS points in up to four semesters and write a Master's thesis. The programme enables students to spend a semester or even a year abroad under the Erasmus+ umbrella.
