The Advanced Master’s in EU Interdisciplinary Studies stands out for its interdisciplinary approach. The programme aims to encourage reflection on the political, economic, social and legal issues involved in European integration. It is a 60-credit programme taught exclusively in English. 

A clear focus on career development is one of the main features of this programme. An innovative seminar is organised to offer students the necessary skills to develop a professional project and a career plan. 

Objectives of this programme

The goal of this programme is to develop the skills of the student. By supplementing their training with a high level of expertise, they are better equipped to understand how EU policies function. It aims to train the experts of the future, developing skills in analysis, synthesis and debate.

Curriculum

The curriculum of this advanced Master programme is not designed to provide an introduction to the subject, but rather to deepen students' knowledge of the topics covered. A core module of compulsory courses provides an understanding of European integration.

  • Migrations, Rights and Policies  
  • EU Integration and Regionalism and Global Governance  

An internship is compulsory. Students write a final dissertation based on the professional experience gained during their internship and the professional development seminar. 

Lastly, a selected group of students can benefit from an annual exchange programme and an international academic chair in Comparative Regionalism with Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.
