Our programmes...
- ... are quintessentially international
The student body constitutes a small international community: each year, around 15 to 20 different nationalities are represented among the students. Lectures are delivered by speakers coming from different countries. During the academic year, the participants study in two or three different countries.
- ... are interdisciplinary
We receive students who have studied Economics, Political Science, History, Languages, but also graduates from other subjects as diverse as Natural Sciences, Engineering or the Arts. This diversity of academic background of our students makes the in-class discussions and group work during the year particularly interesting and engaging. The teachers also come from various differing disciplines and include political scientists, lawyers, economists, historians, and sociologists.
- ... prepare the students for professional life
We are in close contact with international organisations, European institutions and other actors of the European political environment. High-ranking civil servants, diplomats and experts contribute to our teaching and acquaint the students with their daily work patterns in these organisations. We put students in contact with organisations which may be able to offer them an internship after the end of the academic year. Simulation games which replicate negotiations in international and European institutions help prepare the students in a concrete way for their future work.
- ...put a lot of emphasis on the students’ individual research
The thesis which each student has to prepare during the academic year offers the possibility to gain expertise in a specific field and helps them to prepare for life in the real world of work. We help our students contact experts who can be of help in their research. Our study visits provide the students with the opportunity to access specialised libraries and to discuss findings with competent personalities.
- ... allow close and regular contact between students and teaching staff
Each class consists of a maximum of approximately 30 students. The same teaching staff accompanies them to the different locations where the programme takes place. Hence, there is continual evaluation of the students’ work which guarantees the programme’s coherence.
