What makes this programme unique?
The Arqus Joint Master’s Programme in European Studies is jointly offered by the universities of Granada, Graz, Leipzig and Vilnius. You will explore how Europe acts, is perceived, and is challenged in a global context, examining the relationship between Europeanisation and globalisation, the EU and its institutions, Europe’s neighbours, the interaction between EU and non-EU states, effects of global politics and developments on Europe and its governments and on other important topics.
Study at four universities across Europe: Granada, Graz, Leipzig, and Vilnius. Choose an entrance university and use the opportunity to spend at least one semester at another partner university.
Jointness
Interdisciplinarity
European Studies is an interdisciplinary programme that combines:
- Political science and international relations
- Sociology and social theory
- Economics and political economy
- Law and legal integration
- Cultural and regional studies
You learn to approach European questions from multiple angles, gaining a toolkit that is relevant for academic, policy, and professional careers.
The consortium combines the regional and academic expertise of the four partner universities, all of which have long-standing experience in European Studies. The programme aims to equip students with the analytical skills needed to examine Europe’s past, present and future roles on a research basis and to contribute to the analysis and development of political, economic, social and cultural projects.
Regional and expert foci
Each partner university has its own geographic and thematic focus. You can choose your study path and specialisation according to your interests.
