Programme Structure

The Executive Master in EU Studies is a two-year programme that take place online and on-site. Students use our E-Campus and study with online courses, moderated fora, webinars, and instructional videos. The programme also includes intensive face-to-face weekend workshops in different European cities. Designed for professionals it allows the part-time students to study while pursuing their careers.

During the first academic year - over three study terms - we offer compulsory and elective courses focusing on fundamentals of European studies. Students also have a course on Fundamentals of Scientific Work. The second year combines advanced teaching offers in Political Science, Economics and EU Law with a specialisation in either a research track leading to a Master thesis or a professional track intensifying skills and competences for the labour market and completing their studies with a final paper.
