InternationalEstablished in 1995, the Euromasters is a unique graduate-level programme that focuses on contemporary Europe and the role of Europe in the wider world. Students learn about EU institutions, European integration, societal modernization and democratization in European countries, Europe’s role in international relations and its position in the international security architecture. They focus on the pressing issues Europe faces today such as security, immigration and economic disparity.
Euromasters educates students by way of classroom and experiential learning environments. We train individuals in the methods of social-science critical inquiry and cultural adaptability. We remain committed to and engaged with the alumni community as our graduates pursue many different types of goals in international diplomacy, business, education, politics, law, and research.
The University of Siena participates in a two-year itinerant master program (Euromaster) among various prestigious European universities and the University of North Carolina. The organizing academic institution, where students must enroll and spend the first period of study, is the University of Bath. Students can study at two or three partner sites of the EAUC in Europe or the US. Our University hosts students who choose this location for the third semester, who can also stay in Siena a second semester, for the completion of their thesis.
The module in Siena will offer Special Expertise in several topics, including Political Institutions and Political Élites in Europe, Challenges and conflicts in contemporary Europe, Nationalism and Populism in Europe, Mediterranean politics. Students will follow three core modules (below) and will have the opportunity to choose elective courses among the subjects included in the USiena offer (MA in European Studies and Public and Cultural Diplomacy)
