Location of Centre International de Formation Européenne CIFE
The two-year Master Online allows the participants to deepen and to supplement their knowledge in the EU integration process by applying blended learning methods through a combination of a e-learning and concentrated face-to-face learning phases.
The programme is a training and an additional qualification for young professionals, postgraduates and junior officials interested in or already working in the field of European integration. The programme offers them the opportunity to continue their studies while pursuing their career.
The Master involves recognised experts with academic and practical background (See 1.3) and is offered by the Centre international de formation européenne (CIFE) in cooperation with the Jean Monnet Chair of the University of Cologne.
1.1 Methodology
The study material is delivered in the form of online courses, supplemented by short intensive workshops. The participants acquire the contents of the online course through self-study. Study progress is controlled by online discussions, by assignments and by exams. Face-to-face workshops take place in different European cities like Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Istanbul and Rome and complement the virtual activities of the programme.
1.2 Disciplines
The basic courses on EU Law, Political Science, Economics and History of European Integration are coupled during the first year by courses on International Relations, Enlargement policies, Monetary and Fiscal policies, Sustainable Development, Interest Representation and Justice and Home Affairs.
During the second year of the programme participants specialize in one of the following study areas: EU Law, Political Science, Economics. The teaching method is similar to that of the first one, though it results in a more advanced level of interdisciplinarity and essay oriented self-study, coupled by an intensive workshop. The second part of the year is dedicated to the preparation for the final examination in the three study areas and to the submission of a master thesis, which is defended at the final workshop of the Master programme.
1.3 Experts
The teaching staff of the programme comes from several well-renowned European academic institutions, among which the University of Cologne (DE), the Humboldt University (DE) and the Institute for Wolrd Economics (HU).
1.4 ECTS
The Master in EU Studies awards after the successfull completion of the programme 60 ETCS.
