This programme allows students to engage with the study of Europe from a variety of perspectives - the domestic, the regional/supranational, and the global. It draws on theories of international relations, comparative politics and European integration, as well as dealing with some of the biggest practical political challenges facing Europe today. It allows students to develop their knowledge of European politics by engaging with subjects that stretch beyond the European continent, by focusing, for example, on international security, development or globalization; or alternatively by specializing in European Studies.
Core units in the first semester prepare students for a wide range of optional units in the second semester, and students are included in the seminar programmes given by visiting researchers and external speakers. Students writing their dissertations will be expected to select a project that involves a European dimension. One of the core units will be led by Prof. Michelle Cini who has edited key textbooks in this field.
The Department of Politics, Department of Sociology and Centre for East Asian Studies recently merged to create a new School within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law.
