For you?

In a fast-paced, globalised era of constant change, organisations, institutions and businesses need adaptable professionals, to advise and assist them in dealing with the realities of operating in Europe and facing the big challenges of the 21st century.  

With a mix of knowledge of business and politics with professional skills and foreign languages, our interdisciplinary European Studies programme equips you for a variety of jobs in policy advice, communications, export and other fields at public and private sector organisations. It can also prepare you for an international master’s programme in business, public policy or international relations, giving you international options. 

European Studies will turn you into a global citizen, by offering you an English-language education in an international classroom, by sending you on exchange to a foreign university and by putting you to work on an internship at an non-profit organisation, government institution or private business, where you’ll find out what you have to offer the job market. It will also help you establish an international network of European Professionals to keep you connected as you move forward in your career.  

This 4-year Bachelor of Arts in European Studies will take you beyond borders, but we also offer a three-year fast-track for select students if you’re up to the challenge.
