Overview
The purpose of the degree programme is to give you general knowledge of European conditions, political as well as historical and cultural, to build on the insight you gained in your BA studies.
Work internationally and interculturally
With a European Studies programme from Aarhus University , you are qualified to analyse, understand and work with both European diversity and everything that brings Europeans together. European Studies is an interdisciplinary and multicultural degree programme and therefore prepares you to work in international organisations, large corporations and in public administration.
Why European Studies?
Europe is becoming more and more important for the individual. Europeans are becoming more closely connected, and the EU is becoming an integrated part of both national and international politics. In European Studies, you learn to analyse the many problems and possibilities inherent in the European collaboration and Europe in general. You deal not only with EU institutions but also with analyses of cultural, social and political processes in Europe, and the question of what Europe really is.
