Shaping Europe: Students of the interdisciplinary degree course in European Studies (M.A.) focus on the problems of living together in Europe and taught the skills to help solve them. They first complete the four central areas – Culture, Politics, Law and Economics – and can then specialise in the following areas: Governance in Europe; European Economic Law; Migration, Ethnicity, Ethnocentrism; Regional Development in Europe; Culture, History and Society in Europe; Economic Policy in Europe.

Learning foreign languages and pursuing international dual degrees at partner universities in France, Poland and Turkey offer the opportunity to gain intercultural experience as well as to establish an international personal network. A vibrant international and multilingual culture is an integral part of the cross-border campus life at the European University Viadrina in the German-Polish twin city of Frankfurt (Oder)-Słubice.
