Program Overview

Program Description:

The purpose of this one year Master program with its two options (economic integration, and political and social integration) is oriented towards providing an academic, theory-based understanding of the policies, the institutions and the socio-economic processes in the European Union. The Master is designed to provide graduate students of different backgrounds with an expert knowledge of European legislation, European institutions and the economic integration process. Also people with professional backgrounds and experiences in administrations, European institutions, etc. will find the program challenging and rewarding. A multidisciplinary approach ensures insights from economics, political sciences, and sociology.

In order to allow students to combine this Master programme with their other professional activities, classes are organised in the evenings, after working hours. The Euromaster can be followed on a full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years) basis.

The faculty members of the Euromaster are all experienced teachers with extensive academic credentials (e.g. PhD, publications and research activities). Several faculty members are high level EU officials and add a strong practitioners’ perspective to our program.

The Euromaster is oriented towards both full-time students as well as professionals, who seek to deepen their understanding of the EU. For this purpose the Euromaster classes are organized after working hours to enable students and professionals to attend the lectures.

Financial assistance may be available. Detailed information can be found at the VUB website.
