- Description/content
- Since 1994, Universität Hamburg has been offering a study programme on European integration in cooperation with the Europa-Kolleg. The interdisciplinary Master's programme offers graduates of a first degree in a variety of disciplines the opportunity to understand the process of European integration in its legal, political and economic dimensions.
This is about much more than mere theoretical reflection: it is about enabling students to pursue a successful career in a challenging international working environment – from the European institutions to globally operating think tanks, companies or law firms. A compulsory internship during the course of studies provides initial insights into subsequent professional practice and promotes problem-conscious, solution-oriented thinking.
What makes the Hamburg Master's programme in "European and European Legal Studies" special is not only its multi-perspective approach but also the possibility of living and studying together "on campus". In a way, the campus is a multicultural living room and classroom!
