The study programme is made up of a core curriculum representing 90 credits, as well as a choice of one of two specialised topics of 30 credits. The first year courses provide the basic legal, economic, historical and political knowledge necessary to move on to one of the specialisations, and to embark upon the writing of a dissertation.

 

Further methodological teaching, thought-provoking discussions and language study enhance the course. The 'introduction to information and documentation' provides help in researching documentary sources, the interdisciplinary seminar 'Thinking Europe' puts forward a possible cross-cutting approach to the various disciplines, and the learning of another language, on top of French and English, gives students the chance to expand their knowledge of European languages.

 

The second year is spent on the writing of a dissertation, as well as being essentially focused on one of the two specialisations: 'European policies: scope and methods' or 'Europe in the world'. 

 

Erasmus exchanges are organised during the first semester of the second year.
