Europese Studies Universiteit Maastricht

Bestudeer de complexe uitdagingen van het Europa van vandaag, zoals democratische veerkracht, migratie en klimaatbeleid. In deze bachelor combineren we verschillende academische perspectieven op Europa met een grondige opleiding in onderzoek en praktische vaardigheden. "De balans in European Studies ontstaat door geschiedenis, politiek, recht en economie naast elkaar te bestuderen. Dit zorgt ervoor dat we Europa in al zijn complexiteit begrijpen." Onze brede waaier aan professionele vaardigheden – onderzoek, onderhandelen, communicatie – wordt sterk gewaardeerd in uiteenlopende werkomgevingen.
