Two-year Research Master in theoretical & practical aspects of European integration. International, English-language programme cooperates closely with international, EU, & national administrations.
The Research Master in European Studies involves a two-year interdisciplinary curriculum geared towards the theoretical and practical problems of the European integration process. It differs from other research master's in the field by combining the social and cultural sciences and by its distinctive didactic model. Its international character is not only reflected in the use of English as the language of instruction but also in its close cooperation with other international universities through student and staff exchange, and with EU institutions, other Brussels-based actors and national administrations of the EU member states. This is a two-year programme taught in English.
