Taught in the heart of one of the principal institutional centres of the European Union, the University of Luxembourg’s innovative new bilingual (English/French) Master in European Governance distinctively combines:
- a strong core of teaching on European Politics and Policy
- a broader interdisciplinary curriculum on European integration;
- a series of practitioner-led seminars providing unique insight into the processes of European decision-making.
The Master’s degree builds upon the research programme in European Governance established in 2004, which brings together over 25 collaborators
