Master in European Studies [120.0] - EURO2M
The European dimension is taking on an increasingly important role in economic affairs, the social situation, the formulation of law and political issues for member states and European citizens.
The Master of Arts in European Studies [120] is very much an interdisciplinary course, covering economic, legal and historical aspects. It gives students the necessary knowledge and analytical tools to understand and evaluate the process of European integration. It is therefore a good preparation for those professions relating to the European dimension at different levels of the public administration (European, national, regional and local), lobbying, consultancy, the ‘think tanks’ associated with the European institutions, or the many activities in various economic and social spheres requiring a thorough knowledge of European affairs. The 'European policies: scope and methods’ option emphasises budgetary resources and the decision-making processes within Europe, and is focused on the main internal policies of the Union. The ‘Europe in the world’ option, however, concentrates on the role of the Union as a global player in international relations, in the era of globalisation. For each of these specialisations, a seminar on topical questions is held, to examine relevant issues. Some of the teaching on the programme is given in English. Active and passive knowledge of French and English is required, and the course includes the study of another language, to reflect European multilingualism. The programme is organized jointly by the Institute of European Studies at UCL and the Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis.
