The origins of the study of Political Science in Lund can be traced back to 1877, when a chair in History and Political Science was established.
The Master of Science (Two Years) in European Affairs with a focus on European Politics is a social science master’s programme and runs for four consecutive semesters. Admission to the programme is open to students possessing a Bachelor’s degree from a recognised institution of higher education in Political Science or corresponding disciplines in Social Sciences or the Humanities.
The programme provides wide-ranging as well as in-depth knowledge of the political aspects of European Affairs, especially concerning the EU and European integration, and prepares you for a professional career as an administrator or decision-maker in the public and private sector at a local, regional, national or international level, as well as for further academic studies at the postgraduate level.
Courses on European governance, EC Law, EU negotiations, Europe in world political economy, and EU Common Foreign and Security Policy enhance your understanding of the politics of the European Union in a global context. To some extent, you have the option of tailoring the programme to suit your particular interests by your choice of research themes. You will complete the programme with a written thesis, providing the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of theories, methods and argumentation.
The programme is taught in English. The student body is international.
After completion of the programme a Master’s degree is awarded in accordance with the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 2006:1053). The requirements for the Master’s degree can be found here.
The programme, which has existed in a one-year version since 1994, is hosted by the Department of Political Science, which has experienced personnel for information and study guidance, and also ample teaching facilities and library and ICT-resources.
University education in Sweden is financed by the Government and there are no tuition fees.
