Master's Programme in European Studies – Social Science track
The European Studies, Social Science Track programme of the University of Gothenburg provides knowledge about current salient policy issues and dominating theories within the European studies field. You will learn how to analyse the economic, political, cultural and social developments in Europe. We focus on interactions and tensions between different countries, actors, societal levels and groups. We study crises and change, as well as the driving forces and consequences of European integration and disintegration.
