Overview
The Master of Arts in European Studies at Europa-Universität Flensburg is a two-year, full-time programme conducted entirely in English. It offers a multidisciplinary approach to understanding Europe through social sciences, humanities, law, and economics. Students engage with core themes like European integration, law, society, and economy, while also having the flexibility to specialise through electives.
