Teaching method

This Advanced Master tackles European studies from a multidisciplinary perspective which accounts for its originality and special features. It applies the resources of political science, law, economics and history to the study of European integration. Students acquire the basic knowledge which enables them to understand and evaluate both the institutional system as well as the main policies developed by the European Union. The wide variety of approaches, together with the multidisciplinarity, enables them to analyze the complexity of the issues at stake. 

The interdisciplinary seminar ‘Thinking Europe’ develops the interdisciplinary aspect.

The teaching staff is made up of both academics who specialize in the subjects studied and practitioners from the institutions and common policies who can shed light on how they actually work and who represent a source of expertise for students.

Assessment may take the form of written or oral examinations. The interdisciplinary seminar ‘Thinking Europe’ and the final assignment are assessed on the basis of a piece of written work, in accordance with guidelines set out by the supervisor. 

The programme is assessed annually on the basis of a questionnaire distributed to students at the end of each semester.
