MPhil/PhD Programme

MPhil/PhD European Studies

Students specialise in one of the subfields of Political Economy; Politics and Policy; Culture and Society; and Migration.

The MPhil/PhD in European Studies welcomes applications for multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary research on Europe. Students begin on the MPhil, and are upgraded to PhD status once the requirements are met. The closeness of the research student community, which meets weekly to discuss students’ projects, and the close involvement of the faculty, make the European Institute a very special place to learn the craft of academic research.
