The Programme is totally flexible and adaptable to the needs of potential students, combining different teaching methodologies (face-to-face, hybrid and online) and integrating jointly conceptualized and taught virtual courses with local seminars led by lecturers at the participant universities. It also incorporates interdisciplinary approaches with multiple perspectives and different points of view and counts on multinational and interdisciplinary teaching teams in all modules.
The Arqus Joint Master´s Programme European Studies provides a multidisciplinary understanding of Europe’s role in the world, drawing on a range of approaches in the social sciences and the humanities. The Programme focuses on the relationship between Europeanisation and globalisation, the impact of global developments on Europe and the changing role of the continent in the new world order.
The Master, recently accredited by the German Agency ZEvA, brings together institutes and centres of long-standing expertise in the field within the University of Granada, University of Graz, Leipzig University and Vilnius University, which allows students to profit from a wide range of options in complementary focus areas and from a unique intercultural experience.

Virtual courses
The study programme provides for an integrated mobility semester (30 ECTS credits) as a mandatory requirement for graduation. You can spend this mobility semester at any partner institution in the consortium (except at your entrance university).
When applying, you are asked to indicate your preferred mobility universities. The Selection Committee will then make the final decision on your placement. It will take your wishes into account as much as possible, but must also consider the availability of places at the individual universities. After the selection meeting, you will be informed about the mobility university together with the selection result.
Mobility
The mobility, which is a central feature of the programme, allows students to study at two or even three different study places and makes the study experience truly transnational. Students will spend a minimum of 30 ECTS at one of the partner universities other than the entrance university. However, according to their own preference and availability, students might choose to remain onsite at their entrance university only and generate the minimum of 30 ECTS at another degree-awarding partner online.
Participants can apply for an exchange term at one of the Arqus Universities (outside the Joint Master’s Programme consortium) and at universities outside of the Arqus Alliance. Additionally, the Master includes the possibility of completing an internship outside the universities or a research internship in one of the participating universities in order to promote the students’ later work opportunities.
