European Studies

专业介绍

Political, cultural and historical issues in Europe

At the Master’s degree programme in European Studies, you work with European affairs within politics, culture and history. You engage with European diversity and with everything that connects Europeans. You learn to analyse the many challenges and opportunities in European cooperation and in Europe as a whole. You study the EU’s institutions and work with the analysis of cultural, social and political processes in Europe, as well as with the question of what Europe actually is.

European Studies is an international master’s programme where you have fellow students from all over the world. This also means that teaching takes place in English, like the other master’s programmes at AU, and that you will be speaking quite a lot of English both inside and outside the classroom. This international environment provides you with a dynamic learning experience, where you, together with students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, engage in discussions on topics such as democracy and international relations and continuously contribute new perspectives.

One degree, many career paths

With a Master’s degree in European Studies, you gain an international profile, and throughout the programme you develop strong intercultural competences.

Graduates in European Studies typically find employment in companies with a European or international profile, public institutions, NGOs, EU institutions, embassies, etc., and work in areas such as cultural communication, European affairs, project coordination, or intercultural communication. You also have the opportunity to pursue an academic career and apply for a PhD.
