Master's Programme in European Studies - Humanities track
In the European Studies, Humanities Track programme of the University of Gothenburg, you will learn to critically examine and understand Europe as an idea and community, but also how Europe has been influenced by national and cultural identities. We shed light on European self-understanding in relation to other parts of the world, both historically and in the present day globalization. You will develop your skills in critical analysis, text interpretation, analysing cultural practices, application of scientific methods, and in preparing your own arguments.
As a student of the Master’s Programme in European Studies, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary milieu in close collaboration with the Centre for European Research at Gothenburg University (CERGU). We offer you a unique possibility to combine historic and theoretical knowledge with social and political perspectives on contemporary challenges in Europe.Programme Structure
