Taught in English, the programme offers a broad perspective crucial to making sense of the challenges facing Europe today. It equips you with the knowledge and skills to address contemporary European issues such as the Eurozone crisis, the questions posed by multicultural societies, and the role of the EU in, for instance, its relations with the Ukraine and Russia.
