The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Do different models of Europe, as supranational, intergovernmental, transnational, or multileveled, suggest different forms of democratic governance? Are states, as the most important proliferators of modern liberal, representative democracy, the sole actors in the international sphere?

MA European Integration and European Politics gives you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of the study of European politics and social scientific research. It is designed for good graduates in politics, economics, law, sociology, European studies or related disciplines.

A Masters course is an academically rigorous programme during which you explore your subject in depth, reaching a high level of specialist knowledge. You draw on knowledge and skills from your undergraduate study or your professional life to produce work of a high academic standard, informed by current thinking and debate.
This course lasts twelve months (full-time), starting in October, and consists of taught modules during your autumn and spring terms and a research-based dissertation to be submitted in September. Your research-based dissertation counts for 60 credits and you will take 120 credits of modules, 60 credits of compulsory modules and a further 60 credits made up from a selection of 30 and 15 credit modules. (If you are from the EU, then our Masters courses are regarded as second-cycle qualifications under the Bologna Declaration and consist of 90 ECTS credits).
