European Studies MA (Double Degree)

The Master of Arts in European Studies is an innovative Double Degree programme offered in cooperation with the Europa Universität Flensburg in Germany. Its interdisciplinary curriculum provides students with diverse perspectives on current issues in European politics, economics, law, and culture, and prepares students for a wide range of employment options. The programme also enables students to gain first-hand experience of life in two very different European countries and to practice or improve their foreign language skills. Graduates obtain two MA degrees from both participating institutions.The Master of Arts in European Studies is a two-year, full-time programme taught in cooperation with the Europa Universität Flensburg. The curriculum of this interdisciplinary programme draws on a range of subject areas, including politics, law, economics, cultural studies and languages. The first year of the programme is spent at the University of Limerick, and the second year at the Europa Universität Flensburg. The programme takes advantage of complementary strengths of the two universities in different subject areas. The programme is taught entirely in English at both universities, but students are encouraged to also study an EU language at beginners or advanced level to gain a more comprehensive sense of the multilingual and multicultural nature of Europe, and to be better prepared for an increasingly integrated European job market.

Applicants must have a primary degree in a related discipline, with first or second-class honours (Level 8 - National Qualifications Authority of Ireland) or an approved equivalent qualification. Candidates should be proficient in the use of English.
