This programme is based in the European Institute and offers the following benefits:
* Philosophically and historically grounded, multi-disciplinary analysis of Europe as a world-historical social and cultural space.
* Teachers of academic distinction, with experience of policy making in Europe.
* A seminar on contemporary issues with distinguished outside speakers, including business leaders and policy makers (unexamined).
* Students from our programmes are actively head hunted by companies and international organisations working in the region.
* Former graduates on our programmes pursue successful careers in politics, journalism, diplomacy, business and in international financial institutions.
In the degree students will explore the increasingly important public debate on the meaning and limits of 'Europe'; the relationship between civil society and the state in Europe; the relevance of a transnational sociology; the domestic impact of the European Union for citizenship and identity; and the cultural and policy implications of national and ethnic diversity and migration.
