Are you interested in the History and Politics of Europe? Studying a degree in European studies will teach you about the formation of Europe, through several wars and redrawing of borders, and how it functions today as the politico-economic European Union.

You will learn about the various cultures and heritage that prosper within the countries of Europe, and how legal, economic and political frameworks have allowed various EU institutions to function towards shared goals.

To study for a degree in European Studies, you should have an interest in subjects such as politics, sociology, history, art & culture and economics, as well as an interest in Europe itself.

  • European Culture and heritage
