About the Programme

MA students

The Europaeum Masters Programme in European History and Civilisation offers graduate students a special opportunity to deepen their knowledge of European history and institutions, their philosophical and historical backgrounds and underpinnings, and their social and economic contexts, through the lens of three different university worlds. This knowledge plays an increasingly crucial role in practical decision-making and strategic planning, where Europe-wide and global contact and negotiation is required.

MA Evaluation Results

Tags:

We would like to announce the results of our five-year student evaluation.  Overall rates of satisfaction were very high, - and clearly these have increased down the years,with the first year wishing there had been a formal awards ceremony - now an established feature - and more time at Oxford - which is also possible with earlier arrival. All centres were enjoyed - highest overall satisfaction was with the Oxford  (which in summer while working on a dissertation may be hard to beat); strong response for Leiden, and good response for Paris where housing etc is more of a difficulty. Please see here a summary of results plus a selection of anonymous quotes taken from evaluation forms.
