Description
The Erasmus Mundus Master Programme “Euroculture – Europe in the wider world” aims to prepare graduates from all over the world for professions and research areas in which knowledge of present Europe and the European Union institutions are of relevance. The focus of the programme is on cultural and social developments, the political process of European integration, values, citizenship and cultural identity. The programme teaches students the methods and skills required to identify the European dimensions of social problems, to collect and process relevant information of European institutions and organisations and to reflect on the cultural aspects and factors that play a role in the process of European identity formation and European integration.
The Euroculture programme consists of a consortium of eight European universities and four non-European universities. The consortium coordinating university is the University of Groningen.
