European Studies
Understanding the world’s progressive superpower
Explore Europe’s diverse and fascinating collection of cultural identities and histories. Reach back to the past and forward to the future.
Europe is a federation of states that have joined together to solve the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century. We specialise in the social and political structures of contemporary Europe, with the European Union as a leader in transnational education, technology, business, the environment and the arts and sciences.
Using our expertise in languages, societies and cultures, we aim to understand the Europe of history and today. Our graduates work in journalism, media, government, non-government organisations, multinational business, education and training.
Our study offering
Europe comprises 10 percent of the world's population and is one of the world's largest economies. Multidisciplinary in outlook, we examine aspects of European life, including economics, politics and the social sciences.
