Euromasters - MA Contemporary European Studies

EUROMASTERS – EUROPE AND THE WIDER WORLD

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.

What Euromasters say about the Programme

Many graduates of Euromasters have gone straight into jobs in their field. We are very proud of their accomplishments. 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. Likewise, if you are a Euromasters alumni, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!

The Euromasters programme has been a truly European and enriching experience, which offered great academic opportunities, including interdisciplinary classes with internationally renowned professors. I spent two semesters in Bath and the last two semesters in Berlin, while I really appreciated that I could choose my own focus of study among a wide range of classes and topics. At a personal level, I very much enjoyed the international and welcoming atmosphere on the Campus in Bath, and I’m grateful that I had the chance to meet so many inspiring people from across Europe and all over the world. This diversity has also been a great asset throughout our seminars, sparking fruitful discussions on the multiple facets of European integration and globalization. I warmly recommend this programme to young graduates who are seeking to deepen their knowledge in European politics and societal issues, and who are interested in studying in an international environment. After my graduation, I started working as a Carlo-Schmid Fellow in the Communications and Policy Coordination Team at the EU Delegation to the UN in Geneva. The Euromasters programme has definitely helped me a lot in developing skills and knowledge that have been very useful in my current work.

Sonja Zerche

Euromasters Graduate 2020 from Germany

The Euromasters program is a benchmark within an academic/professional field whose nature requires a thorough comprehension to analyse its constantly-evolving challenges and attain its multidimensional objectives. For this, the programme does not only meet high academic standards but also paves the way for the continuous development of multisectorial skills that determine the success of its graduates in endeavours that enact change, within Europe and beyond; the structure of the programme itself is a medium for learning and experiencing a wide array of elements and processes -in multicultural settings- that enable students to adapt to and enact change. I currently work at a recently established international organisation in Germany, whose mandate is to strengthen the bi-regional association between the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean. Without the experiences, learnings and perspectives obtained during my time at the programme, this would not have been possible with such impact.

Diego Durán Cruz,

Euromasters Graduate 2018 from Mexiko

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.
