Euromasters - MA Contemporary European Studies

Programme

Euromasters prepares you for a career in business, administration, diplomacy, policy formulation and research. The international MA programme focuses on the comparative analysis of European polity, politics and policy. It is operated by the European American University Consortium (EAUC). This vast network of renowned universities gives you the unique opportunity to complete the programme at a minimum of two and up to three different universities in Europe. Therefore, you do not simply pursue a European Studies degree, but experience Europe from the perspective of multiple countries, their (academic) cultures and languages. After the successful completion of all study requirements you are awarded a Joint Degree (MA in Contemporary European Studies) by the University of Bath on behalf of the EAUC.

Mission Statement

Euromasters - Europe and the wider world

Euromasters is more than a European Studies program - It's a truly European Experience.

Operated by the network of renowned universities of the European American University Consortium (EAUC), Euromasters is a unique graduate-level programme that affords students the opportunity to study Europe from inside. Students can study at two or three partner sites of the EAUC in Europe or the US. Established in 1995, this interdisciplinary MA programme focuses on contemporary Europe and the role of Europe in the wider world. Students learn about EU institutions, European integration, societal modernization and democratization in European countries, Europe’s role in international relations and its position in the international security architecture. They focus on the pressing issues Europe faces today such as security, immigration and economic disparity. Euromasters educates students by way of classroom and experiential learning environments. We train individuals in the methods of social-science critical inquiry and cultural adaptability. We remain committed to and engaged with the alumni community as our graduates pursue many different types of goals in international diplomacy, business, education, politics, law, and research.

If you are a prospective student, let us know and we will get you in touch with alumni who can provide some tips as you consider the Euromasters programme.

Euromasters is a very dynamic program that challenged my mindset and encouraged me to analyze and research a wide variety of topics: EU governance, nationalism and social movements. I had the chance to study with people from different academic and national backgrounds. The staff in Berlin is amazing and the city offers opportunities in many sectors. I currently work in the area of PR and communications.

Marién Sánchez

Euromaster 2014 from Mexico

My time in Bath, Seattle and Berlin helped me to develop and strengthen a set of valuable skills – including language skills as well as academic reasoning and writing skills – but it above all made me into an extremely independent person. Today, you could drop me anywhere in the world, and I will be able to make that place my home, whether or not temporarily.

Wouter van Dongen

Euromaster 2013 from the Netherlands

The programme gave me the opportunity to study in an inspiring, international environment and gain in-depth understanding of European politics and policy-making. It did not only serve as a stepping stone for my career, but it gave me highly valued friendship across Europe and the United States. Since graduating, I have gathered work experience at the Danish Foreign Service, the European Commission, and I am now working as a Political Consultant in London.

Johanna Asmussen

Euromaster 2012 from Denmark

The excellent teaching staff, the caring programme coordinators and great university facilities provided a dynamic study environment in which I could engage in enlightening discussions with fellow students from all over Europe. I extremely profited from the outstanding quality of teaching. As a programme officer at one of the leading think tanks on foreign policy in Germany, I work at the intersection of academia and policy-making. My profound knowledge of theories and methods which I acquired during the course of the Euromasters equipped me very well for this position.

Julian Rappold

Euromaster 2012 from Germany

One strength of the course is its access to a wide array of European academe, both on site with the wonderful teaching staff at the University of Bath, and at any one of the partner institutions on the continent and in the US. The programme has a feeling of openness, and is not shy in presenting its academic demands. Yet, the department manages to support its students throughout, many of whom like myself have a non-European Studies background.
