About European Studies: Transnational and Global Perspectives, MA - at KU Leuven

The interdisciplinary and international Master of Arts in European Studies: Transnational and Global Perspectives (MAES) introduces students to the study of Europe as a continent of strong interactions across national boundaries and of constant exchange with the outside world. It offers insights and knowledge about the nature and functioning of Europe both in the contemporary world and in an historical perspective.

What is the program all about?

This program invites ambitious and talented students from all over the world and various disciplinary backgrounds to study Europe as a continent of strong interactions across national boundaries and constant exchanges with the outside world. Our research-­driven education enables you to anticipate and find solutions for complex global challenges that transcend national and disciplinary boundaries. Interaction with staff members from various disciplines and faculties (Social Sciences, Arts, Law, Economics, and Theology) exposes you to a wide range of theoretical approaches and allows you to acquire crucial methodological skills.

All courses are taught in English and complemented by many guest lectures delivered by internationally renowned scholars and high-ranked European diplomats and officials. Our students also benefit from their interactions within a highly international group of nearly 40 nationalities. Moreover, we organise various study trips to the European and transatlantic institutions in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg as well as excursions to the historical World War I battlefields.

Structure

All MAES students take a common course on 'Transnational and Global Perspectives on Europe' and write a Master thesis. In addition, students choose a major and a minor out of the following modules as well as at least one elective from any of the modules or the additional electives:

  • European History, Integration and Political Order
  • European Diversity and Cultural Policy
  • European Governance
  • European External Relations
  • Globalising Europe
  • European and Global Political Economy
  • Social Europe and European Welfare States
  • Sustainability and Europe
  • Europe and its Eastern Neighbourhoods
  • Europe and its Southern Neighbourhoods
  • Europe and Asia

All courses are taught during the day and for most courses your attendance is required. It is therefore difficult to combine a job with this demanding program.
