By studying the key linguistic, political, cultural and social topics of contemporary Europe, you will learn to understand the mutual relationship, differences and similarities among national and regional cultures. In doing so, you will learn to understand future challenges and inform advanced decision-making in cultural, political and educational institutions.

Explore current affairs across a broad spectrum, from the European Union to European policy and from diplomatic relations to international business. Gaining hands-on experience of what it’s like to collaborate, carry responsibility, delegate and lead in a multicultural environment, you’ll explore current issues and carry out research for public organisations.

Do you want to make a difference for the next European generation? Do you want influence in important political decisions that have an impact on your life, finances, rights and the environment around you? Our society calls for a new generation policy advisors, communication strategists, lobbyists and politicians. There is a growing demand in the international labour market for graduates who know from personal experience what it means to study and work in an international environment. People who can communicate fluently in various European languages; for whom the political structures in Europe have no secrets; professionals who can manage cultural differences and who can be widely employed because of their extensive knowledge in the fields of international communication. All of this is covered in just one study programme: European Studies.

European Studies is an interdisciplinary bachelor's programme that focuses on the cultural, historical, political and social aspects of Europe and the ongoing European integration process. The programme covers international developments both in the European union and in a wider, global context. You will be trained to become a critical thinker who can understand, analyse and explain complex problems at the European level from various disciplinary perspectives.
