European Studies Major

About

If you are interested in different countries, languages, cultures and academic disciplines, then the B.A. European Studies Major programme is a perfect match for you: it is international, interdisciplinary, multilingual and customisable. This programme differs from the B.A. European Studies programme in that it is longer â€“ with a duration of eight semesters rather than six â€“ and involves a full year of study abroad. You will study social sciences and cultural studies related to Europe and a focus area of your choice. You will specialise in one European cultural area and two foreign languages, as you analyse various topics and problems concerning Europe from different disciplinary perspectives using scientific principles. You will also acquire intercultural skills over the course of your studies and in a study visit abroad. This provides you with an ideal preparation for your future work in an international environment. Depending on your chosen focus, this bachelor's degree opens up entry-level positions in companies and organisations in a wide variety of roles and regions.
