About the programme

The MSc European Studies: Ideas, Ideologies and Identities programme (formerly MSc European Identities) provides a theoretically and historically grounded, multi-disciplinary analysis of Europe as a cultural, political and social space. It is led by teachers of academic distinction with experience of policy-making in Europe.

During the programme students will explore:

• the meaning and limits of Europe
• the relationship between civil society and the European state
• the cosmopolitical horizon of European union
• Islam in Europe
• Eurocentrism and Orientalism
• European citizenship and identity
• the cultural and policy implications of national and ethnic diversity and migration

Attracting students from both the humanities and the social sciences, this degree gives students the opportunity to explore a range of different methodological and theoretical approaches to Europe today.
