The Bachelor of Arts in European Studies focuses on Contemporary Europe (including Britain). The degree focuses on the foundations of modern Europe, bearing in mind its long history and how this has shaped contemporary European societies. It also considers the innovative aspects of recent developments, particularly the possibilities for cooperation and unity as well as the tensions between diverse traditions. Aims of this named degree are to enable students:
- to gain perspectives on the social, political and cultural forces that operate in contemporary Europe
- to read, understand and speak a European language (other than English)
- to obtain a grounding in one of the following disciplines: Political Science, History, Sociology, English, Philosophy or Art History.
To achieve these aims we offer courses
- in European institutions, politics, history and society
- which combine acquisition of language skills with the study of politics, society and culture
- prepared by specialists in various disciplines located in departments within the Faculty of Arts.
