MSc European Studies at Maastricht University: Global Scholarship Opportunities

The Research Master European Studies at Maastricht University is a two-year interdisciplinary programme, offered in English, leading to a Master of Science (MSc.) degree. The programme’s focus is on doing research into the politics and policies of the European Union and into the wider historical and international contexts of the process of European integration. It is an interdisciplinary programme combining political science and the study of international relations with history and sociology. The overall objective of the programme is to equip future PhD students and policy analysts with a broad range of scientific methods and theoretical approaches relevant to the analysis of European phenomena.

Studying in this programme means that you become part of one of the largest research groups in European Studies and, through the networks and activities of the research staff at Maastricht University, you will have unique access to researchers at other universities, policy-makers at European Union institutions and in the national administrations of the European Union member states, as well as other Brussels-based actors (interest groups, think tanks).

From the academic year 2015-2016 the MSc European Studies will have three thematic specializations:

  1. History of European integration;
  2. Governance and Representation in Europe;
  3. Europe and the World

Students can specialize also in methods of historical research or in qualitative or quantitative social science methodology.
