The EuroMaster programme is organised by the Institute for European Studies (IES).
The one year 60 ECTS Advanced Master's programme has two 'specialisation streams':
- European Political and Social Integration (EPSI)
- Economic Integration (EI)
It offers students an education of the highest academic standards on the European unification process. The Master is designed to provide graduate students of different backgrounds with an expert knowledge on European legislation, European institutions and the economic integration process.
Furthermore, those with professional backgrounds and experience in national administrations, European institutions, etc. will find the programme challenging and rewarding. A multidisciplinary approach ensures insight from economics, law, political sciences, and sociology.
A maximum of 30 students will be admitted in each of the two specialisations in order to assure high quality interactive teaching.
Duration: full-time 1 year (evening programme) or part-time 2 years (evening programme)
