This programme will give you the ability to understand and evaluate key conceptual debates in politics and the role of cross-national and comparative perspectives. You will also be encouraged to engage with key contemporary debates in the study of European politics, concerning the relationship between the European and national levels, institutional studies, politics and policies, and the ongoing search for a stable equilibrium in all these areas.
You will deepen your knowledge of theoretical aspects of European politics including different theories of integration. You will also be encouraged to develop your knowledge and understanding in at least two more specialised areas. Two of the four optional modules must be selected from those in the area of European politics; the two further modules can be chosen from a range of European and/or international modules.

Accreditation
The University of Surrey School of Management is unique as the only business school in the world to hold simultaneous accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). MBA and Tourism students can be assured of the quality of their programme and the School as recognized by these awards.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is an international body which assesses business schools on the quality of their programmes and operational management. AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide.
Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:
* Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
* Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
* Provide high-calibre teaching of quality and current curricula.
* Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
* Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
An AACSB accredited business school gives an assurance that it is amongst the best in the world.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation is widely recognised as the global standard for MBA programmes. The association has acted as an advocate for MBA programmes around the world since 1967 and assesses business schools and their post-experience management programmes against rigorous criteria. These criteria include:
* The institution offering an MBA should have a clear strategy and mission, explicitly expressed and regularly updated. It will have a clear understanding of the market for its products.
* Staff should be credible in terms of their academic qualifications, their ability to teach business at postgraduate level, the quality of their research and the extent of their business contacts and consultancy activities.
* As the MBA is a post-experience, postgraduate degree, students admitted onto an accredited MBA must have a minimum of three years work experience, with the cohort averaging 5 years experience.
* The curriculum should be generalist in nature and must cover the core business skills: marketing, the economic and legal environment of a business, accounting and quantitative methods, finance, organisational theory, interpersonal skills, information technology, and the processes and practices of management.
The School of Management has a long association with the tourism industry and a worldwide reputation for excellence in tourism education. It was the first institution in the UK to receive UNWTO TedQual certification for both its undergraduate and postgraduate tourism programmes.
The UNWTO TedQual certification system contributes to the quality and efficiency of tourism education training and research. It proposes a methodology and voluntary standards with universal scope to more clearly define the quality of tourism education systems. The UNWTO TedQual certification system is a quality assurance system for tourism education, training and research. The specific aims of the UNWTO TedQual certification system are:
* Establish a quality standard for tourism education and training systems.
* Smooth the way towards greater pedagogic productivity in tourism.
