Erasmus Mundus Master of Euroculture: Society, Politics and Culture in a Global Context - Master's Programme of Excellence

About

Euroculture: Society, politics and culture in a global context is a transdisciplinary, international and inter-university Erasmus Mundus Master's course, and a Programme of Excellence supported by the EU. Euroculture as a concept highlights the many different expressions and manifestations of Europe from both inside and outside. In light of the ongoing transformation of Europe and the enlargement and integration of the EU in a global context, a growing impact and awareness of cultural dispositions, conflicts and exchanges can be observed. The undeniable relevance of values, identity concepts or perceptions calls for sensitive and well-informed professionals in this field. The programme aims to prepare graduates from Europe and non-EU countries for professions and research areas in which knowledge of present-day Europe and European Union institutions is of relevance. Since its foundation in 1999, the focus of the programme has been on cultural and social developments in Europe as well as on norms, values and identity-building processes. Three faculties at the University of GÃ¶ttingen as well as eleven partner universities in Europe and the wider world participate in the integrated Euroculture programme. Through the mobility between the partner universities, students gain experience with different languages, perspectives and cultural practices. In addition to a comprehensive knowledge of European matters, students master specific practical competences, such as project management, intercultural communication, as well as preparation of research and of professional project proposals.
