Next academic year a new MA in EU External Relations will be offered at the University of Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies. The programme responds to an increasing need to study the EU’s external relations at an advanced level and to understand its new, but complex role. In a quickly changing world, the European Union is a key actor. The EU is studied in its different international dimensions: Common Foreign and Security Policy, EU external relations law, but also from an outsider’s perspective in a context of global change and regional instability.
The programme makes active use of the presence of the EU and other institutions in the proximity of the Brussels School of International Studies and builds on the tradition of inviting high-level diplomats to share their views with students. Key modules are taught by leading experts in the field. The new MA in EU External Relations prepares students for careers in diplomacy, research and in consultancies or NGOs that deal with the external dimension of the EU.
Detailed information on the programme will be online early January 2015.
