Programme Overview

This interdisciplinary, two-year MA programme is a unique, international study programme that prepares graduates for careers in business, administration, diplomacy, policy formulation and research.

Students learn about EU institutions, European integration, the transatlantic relationship, and comparative welfare states. They focus on the pressing issues Europe faces today such as security, immigration and economic disparity.

The full-time programme consists of four semesters, which are completed at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin‘s prestigious partner universities: University of Bath, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Sciences Po Grenoble and Università degli Studi di Siena.

Study in up to three countries

This network of renowned universities gives students the unique opportunity to complete the programme at a minimum of two and up to three different sites of their choice in Europe and the US.

All students spend the first semester at the University of Bath. They pursue a degree in Contemporary European Studies and experience the European Union from the perspectives of multiple countries, cultures and languages.

Euromasters is a truly European experience with regard to teaching, learning and living! Students in the Euromasters programme receive a joint Master’s degree from the University of Bath (MA in Contemporary European Studies) in the name of all the partner universities.

The programme is operated by the European American University Consortium (EAUC). This vast network of renowned universities gives students the unique opportunity to complete the programme at a minimum of two and up to three different universities in Europe.
