Introduction to European Studies

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course offers a broad introduction to the European Union through five disciplines led by five Political Science professors of History, Law, Political Science, Economics and Sociology. It sheds light on diverse and current successes and challenges related to European integration. The focus of the course is to equip students with a basic level of knowledge to take on the major contemporary issues of the EU. To this end, a unique program of study is based on five current themes in the EU (Brexit, populism, euro, GAFAM, and immigration). Each of these topics will be addressed in two successive sessions by two professors. In addition to deepening reflection on these topics, this approach will allow students to grasp the disciplinary specificity of each topic.
