About European Studies

Until recently, our generation was the first in hundreds of years to grow up in a Europe without war. That changed in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, and Europe is now facing new threats and challenges. At the same time, the early 21st century has seen divisions and constellations challenging the accepted European order of the last 60 years. By participating in the European studies bachelor’s program, you will gain knowledge and understanding of the continent's complex and diverse politics, societies, and cultures, from past to present.

The program combines perspectives, theories, and issues from the fields of political science, history, geography, law, culture, and literature studies. Europe is complex and it plays an increasingly important role in our lives. To fully understand the continent and the EU, more than one national or scientific perspective is required. This three-year bachelor's program provides you with a multidisciplinary approach to Europe in an international setting.
