European Studies - 3 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.
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.
This fast-track offers the same mix of knowledge of business and politics, as well as professional skills and foreign languages, and equips you for the same variety of jobs in policy advice, communications, export and other fields at public and private sector organisations, but follows a slightly different route. Some courses are combined and some projects include extra elements to accommodate the acceleration, but results in the same diploma, which can also be used to enter an international master’s programme in business, public policy or international relations, giving you international options.
