European Studies - 4 years
In a fast-paced, globalised era of constant change, organisations, institutions and businesses need adaptable professionals, to advise and assist them in dealing with the realities of operating in Europe and facing the big challenges of the 21st century.
With a mix of knowledge of business and politics with professional skills and foreign languages, our interdisciplinary European Studies programme equips you for a variety of jobs in policy advice, communications, export and other fields at public and private sector organisations. It can also prepare you for an international master’s programme in business, public policy or international relations, giving you international options.
European Studies will turn you into a global citizen, by offering you an English-language education in an international classroom, by sending you on exchange to a foreign university and by putting you to work on an internship at an non-profit organisation, government institution or private business, where you’ll find out what you have to offer the job market. It will also help you establish an international network of European Professionals to keep you connected as you move forward in your career.
In 2017, ES was awarded the ‘Certificate for Quality in Programme Internationalisation’ by the European Consortium for Accreditation (ECA).
You can pursue a career in public service or politics, or at a non-governmental organisation, where you’ll likely be busy with management tasks, international relations, policy advice, fundraising and communications. You can also pursue a career in business, where you might work in management, marketing, governance, export or communications, or you could even decide to go into business for yourself as a social entrepreneur. Whatever you choose, you should be ready to run, market, advise or represent an international organisation, political institution or business, anywhere in the world.
