Overview
Why study transatlantic affairs?
- The 21st century brings with it numerous complex problems that the United States and the European Union can best address together. Challenges related to global trade, the global and regional security architecture, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and other pressing problems such as the fight against extremism must be tackled by a new generation of experts who can assume influential roles in transatlantic affairs.
- Students in the The Transatlantic Affairs programme of the College of Europe spend one year on each side of the Atlantic. Both institutions create a community setting, integrating students into a close-knit, multinational, and intercultural learning environment. The first year is dedicated to coursework, including a joint, year-long and project-oriented course on transatlantic affairs. The second year includes a high-level internship with a transatlantic focus, master thesis and coursework.
