The track European Politics in a Global Perspective: Enables to design a study programme tailored to your needs and interests. Offers a research-led and policy-oriented curriculum taught by committed staff. Includes a placement that excellently prepares for the labour market. Provides you with a research-oriented profile which makes you fit for participation in a Research Master and/or a PhD track. The Master's track European Politics in a Global Perspective is special because of its interdisciplinary and policy-oriented nature. We study integration from an historical, IR-theoretical, legal and social-economic point of view. We strongly feel that developments in Europe cannot be properly understood from a mono-disciplinary perspective and that a thoroughly integrated approach is needed to gain a proper insight in the issues under study. European Politics in a Global Perspective is interdisciplinary by nature. Moreover, we attach great importance to the practical translation of the knowledge and (oral and writing) skills acquired during the MA track. Students in the Master's track European Politics in a Global Perspective write policy notes and research papers, participate in debating sessions and simulation games, (critically) review standard works in European Politics in a Global Perspective studies and, last but not least, can do a traineeship with a European organization (public or private), either in the Netherlands or abroad. In other words, we are highly motivated to provide the students with an appropriate background in knowledge and skills to prepare them for a well-positioned entry on the labour market.
