De Europese Unie is in toenemende mate een complex en fascinerend politiek en socio-economisch landschap. De eenjarige masteropleiding European Union Studies bestudeert het brede geografische gebied dat de EU beslaat vanuit een interdisciplinair perspectief.
In deze master krijg je onderwijs van academici die international bekend zijn in hun vakgebied en die daarbij vaak kunnen putten uit hun persoonlijke ervaring in politiek, beleid, adviesorganen en denktanks. Zij zijn dus buitengewoon goed in staat om een beeld te geven van de manier waarop de EU haar beleid ontwikkeld en de dagelijkse gang van zaken organiseert.
