MA Contemporary European Studies: University of Sussex

About the programme

Students taking taught programmes are based at the Sussex European Institute. A study visit to Brussels is offered to MA students in the summer term.

The programme is aimed at graduates in social sciences or other appropriate disciplines who wish to add a European dimension to their knowledge, and at graduates in subjects such as French or history who wish to gain a social science background. You may select for yourself a general approach to European studies, or you may specialise by area according to your choice of options.
