Euroculture: Society, Politics, Culture in a Global Context

How will Europe emerge from its contemporary crisis? What role can Europe play in the world? How will Europe’s past shape its future? Answers to these questions will be forged by you and others in a new generation of leaders with a new kind of interdisciplinary, Europeanist education and training. This is what Euroculture offers you.The Master Programme in Euroculture at Uppsala University offers great opportunities for those of you interested in understanding and helping to shape the future of European integration. Recognised by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Programme of Excellence, Euroculture is for students who realise that Europe’s future will be moulded not only by economics and politics, but also through struggles over identities, values, and heritage – in a word, culture.WHY THIS PROGRAMME?Our interdisciplinary approach combines coursework in at least two countries. We will prepare you to make a difference in fields like diplomacy, international business, journalism, cultural management, and the European institutions.Euroculture is a two-year, multi-university Master’s programme focused on the study of modern European society, politics and culture in a global context. We work in particular with questions of cultural identities and social values that play such a vital role in today’s debates about Europe and its place in the world.Euroculture stands out from traditional European Studies programmes in several ways:Depth of perspectiveOur interdisciplinary courses offer you a broad and deep training, exploring modern European society through history, political science, law, and religious studies. We train Europeanists with the skills to see below the surface of contemporary issues.Theory and practiceOur practical training courses, called Eurocompetence modules, equip you with communicative and managerial skills. These courses will challenge you to use your theoretical and academic knowledge in a practical setting, developing the intercultural skills needed for work in trans-national networks.European experienceAll students spend at least one semester at one of the seven other highly-ranked European universities in the Euroculture consortium.FlexibilityYou can tailor the programme to prepare yourself for further study and an academic career or for other important fields of work in Europe-related areas. In the third semester, you choose whether to take an internship in a wide variety of fields or to follow research seminars at one of Euroculture’s universities in Europe or perhaps at one of our partner universities in India, Japan, Mexico and the United States.
