Description/content

This programme is designed to introduce the complex political and institutional landscape of the European Union (EU). We will explore the EU's governance structure, focussing on the challenges it faces and the innovations that have emerged in response. 

We will begin by examining the history and evolution of the EU, from its origins as the European Coal and Steel Community to its current form as a 27-member union. We will then delve into the various institutions and decision-making processes that make up the EU, including the European Commission, European Parliament, and Council of the European Union. We will also explore some of the key challenges facing the EU, including issues of democratic legitimacy, migration and security, and economic governance. We will examine how these challenges have led to innovations in EU governance, such as the creation of new institutions like the European Stability Mechanism and the emergence of new policy areas like digital governance. 

By the end of this programme, students will have a solid understanding of EU governance, its challenges, and the innovations that are shaping its future. 

The German class is an accompanying language course for beginners, and it is specifically designed to develop the language skills of the students.
