European Studies

Are you ready to make a positive change in Europe? Combine your interest in the EU, love of foreign coun­tries and talent for co­op­er­a­tion in the English-taught HBO bachelor European Studies. You’ll gather knowl­edge and skills needed to tackle societal chal­lenges in Europe. We’ll teach you about pol­i­cy­mak­ing, European bodies, the po­lit­i­cal field and how in­ter­na­tional co­op­er­a­tion works in the European Union. What you learn will be directly applied in projects, which will help you gain more ex­pe­ri­ence. You will also study German, French or Spanish and dif­fer­ent cultures through­out your studies. You will also do an in­tern­ship and complete part of your European Studies degree abroad. This will prepare you for an in­ter­na­tional career where you can start making a dif­fer­ence.
