The Master in European Politics and Policies (MEPP) offers both academic rigor and reputation with EU practitioner insight. It is a one-year programme that empowers you to gain critical insight into today’s key issues in European public administration, public policy and public management. The programme is designed to provide students with rigorous research and analytical skills and prepares them for careers in governments, international bodies and research, all around the world.


This programme combines academic excellence in the comparative study of public sector structures, policy-making and administration within Europe, with a concern for the practical challenges professionals in policy, administrative and consultative functions face at the sub-state, state and European levels.


Programme strengths


  • Interactive courses in small groups: Experience our excellent research-based education in a small and international student group, providing you all the opportunities for a rich learning experience. A specific focus is placed on the use of case studies; the emphasis is placed on how problems can be solved. Moreover, each class involves a considerable amount of self-study and assignments that are meant to help you assimilate the information presented in a quick and effective way. Added value is created by giving attention to the practical challenges of professionals in policy, administrative and consultative functions.
  • An explicit European Policy and Public Administration programme: A strong core of compulsory courses acquaints you with the comparative study of public policies, public administration and public management in different member states and with the political dynamics of European integration itself. The rich variety of electives enables you to explore particular interests. You will gain necessary research skills, culminating in a dissertation.
