BA in European Studies: Politics and Society in a Global Context (Bachelor Degree)

The 3-year BA programme gives students core knowledge of European politics, culture and society whilst emphasising Europe’s role in a wider global framework. Key concepts, such as culture, identity, diversity, democratic processes, Europeanisation and globalisation, are discussed in an interdisciplinary manner. Tackling European affairs through a sociological, political and economic lens, students gain a cross-sectional awareness of the many challenges contemporary societies are facing. The programme equips students with tools to analyse current events and understand the complexities of political and socio-economic phenomena, moreover preparing students for further education in the field of international relations.

Students learn foreign languages, get intensive training in academic English, take part in lectures and seminars conducted by prominent academics and practitioners, and benefit from organised study trips to neighbouring countries. 

Students of the programme benefit from internship opportunities at one of the CES/IES partner institutions in Poland as well as in other European countries.
