European Studies - Master's Programme

The programme gives students comprehensive insight into the different levels and forms of European cooperation and integration, examining their origins and impact on democracy and governance across Europe. A particular focus falls on Norway's relationship with the EU, which is engaged through the European Economic Area and the European Free Trade Area rather than full membership. Training in advanced research and analytical skills is built in, intended both to prepare students for writing their thesis and to support the analysis of EU policies and processes, with the programme aiming to open up career paths in Norway, the EEA and beyond.
