Southern Europe has only recently been examined as a region with its own identity, distinct historical trajectory and independent presence in the world.

This is pertinent as much as it is urgent, given the region’s position on the cutting edge of contemporary global developments such as democratisation, populism and protest politics, secessionist movements, regional integration, transnational migration, new security challenges, North-South relations and new trade routes between East and West.

The International Master in South European Studies (EUROSUD) offers you the unique opportunity to engage in the multi-disciplinary study of the South European region with six partners over two years and gain a jointly awarded Master degree or a double Master degree, depending on the combination of three degree-awarding partners. It is recognised by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD).

WHY THIS PROGRAMME

  • This Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) programme is unique in examining Southern Europe as a distinct region with its own identity and global role. Themes include democracy and protest, migration, social and economic change, nationalism, European integration and the new trade and security challenges that are reshaping the region.
  • Multiple mobility periods allow for a truly international learning experience. Immersion into South European society and culture, experience of diverse educational systems, and needs-based language training in all major South European languages offer in depth knowledge of the region.
  • Research and professional tracks are available for maximum choice in curriculum building. The research track leads to a dissertation while the professional track leads to a substantial work placement and a professional project.
