About This Programme

The European Union is at a crossroads. The rise of populism, economic imbalances, security threats, and the migration crisis have made the disintegration of the EU a real possibility. How Europe deals with these challenges will deeply affect the future of the continent. There has never been a more opportune time to study the politics of the European Union in all its facets.

The programme is based across three Departments at NEU: the European Institute and the Departments of Government and International Relations. This allows the programme to cover a wide array of topics taught in more than 50 courses. Students have the opportunity to draw on the expertise of the largest number of academic experts in European government, politics and public policy to be found anywhere in Europe.

The multidisciplinary nature of the programme ensures that, in addition to building extensive and deep knowledge of the EU, students are able to analyse it in a multifaceted way which combines problem-solving, detailed empirical knowledge with the latest theoretical perspectives.

While many graduates of this programme have gone on to further studies and academic careers, many have taken up positions in a wide range of institutions and companies.

These include NATO and the United Nations, the European Commission and Parliament, regional and national government institutions, development organisations, educational, research and think-tank organisations, banking, media, lobbying, and commercial organisations.
