Study European societies, values and institutions in a truly international, multilingual and interdisciplinary joint programme, offered in the framework of the unique university alliance of Una Europa.

About this programme

In this unique joint programme, organised by nine research-intensive universities within the Una Europa alliance, you study the fundamental aspects and values of the European Union as well as European states and societies.

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, you reflect on the role of Europe in the world and master research skills to analyse key issues related to Europe. Through our extensive mobility programme, you will not only learn about Europe, but also experience, live and grow in an international setting.

Four key characteristics of the Bachelor of European Studies

• Truly international: You study at two to three destinations out of nine countries. The winter school allows for additional short-term blended mobility. Immersing yourself into different European cultures, you will develop transversal skills that are high in demand both in domestic and international work environments.
• Truly multidisciplinary: After a joint multidisciplinary curriculum, you follow a major and a minor out of seven fields of study, benefiting from the in-house expertise of all partner universities.
• Truly multilingual: In addition to English, you learn a second European language, gaining a clear added value on the European labour market.
• Truly you: Thanks to the many options, you can tailor the programme to fit your needs, interests and aspirations.
