International Master European Studies:
is a postgraduate intensive course on European institutions, policies and funding with specific modules on funding programmes in details, drafting of proposals, EU project management.
This intensive Master is organized in a 3-month schedule, enabling students to gain specific competences and skills in a short period of time. The Master teaching methodology is a practice-oriented approach, which aims at transferring knowledge through a learning-by-doing process. In addition, students will have the chance to participate in meetings with experts of the many jobs and institutions operating in Brussels, and to visit the European institutions. About 30 students from different countries and diverse educational backgrounds have the opportunity to attend the Master for every edition; therefore, all classes are held in English and it is a multi-cultural learning experience that will also enrich the personal abilities to work in a European context.
There is no age limit; however 80% of our students are normally aged between 25 and 35. Also, there is no limit as for the background of the students, however most of the students hold a background in European-related subjects and are recently graduates or young professionals. The aim of the selection procedure is to arrange a group where different age, nationality, and career can increase both the personal and the professional skills of the participants.
The 26th edition of the Master will take place in Brussels from 18th September till 14th December 2017. The deadline for applications is on July 18, 2017.
It is an intensive, full-time, 3-month (400 hours) Master, carefully designed to speed up the process of positioning or re-positioning into the job-market.
In addition, the Master is held in Brussels and it foresees meetings with experts already working in the "Brussels arena". Therefore, right after the Master, students usually carry on a traineeship or find a job (also according to their previous experiences) and we do organise a Job-Link Module, to support students in their job search.
Only in the Capital of Europe one can really breathe the EU atmosphere and be able to seize every single opportunity in the field of European affairs! Being this Master Brussels-based, students will be able to start building their own European network of contacts.
