The European Union project is a true success story. Never before has any international organization achieved such a deep level of integration and such a solid and comprehensive institutional system. Today, the European Union’s competences cover a wide range of areas, and its actions affect countless aspects of our daily and professional lives.
For this reason, the Master’s Degree in European Union Studies offers a comprehensive vision of the EU—covering its historical development, current challenges, and future prospects.
OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES
The Master’s Degree in European Union Studies is a joint program of the Royal Institute of European Studies, chaired by Jaime Mayor Oreja and designated as a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence by the European Commission, together with the Ortega-Marañón Institute.
