College of Europe
Name in French: Collège d’Europe
Description: The "College Formula" ensures that, for 10 months, students live and follow together an intensive programme in a challenging and highly stimulating educational environment – which truly prepares them to live and work in an increasingly integrated Europe. The student body – around 300 students in Bruges and up to 120 students in Natolin (Warsaw) – reflects a real diversity of culture and personal experience. Across both campuses, students with an average age of around 25 and originating from over 50 different countries, usually speak three to four languages. All have completed a university degree in a field appropriate for participation in the College’s postgraduate programmes, and quite a few already hold a postgraduate degree. The College's demanding entry requirements and rigorous selection procedures ensure that students who are recruited are of the highest calibre.
The College is a private university/institution and can rely on an extensive network of contacts in European institutions, national administrations, international organisations, European universities and professional circles. Alumni of the College of Europe occupy positions of responsibility in Europe and across the world. Many come back to the College to share their experiences with the students.
Although the College has no scholarships of its own, some 75% of all College students benefit from whole or partial scholarships, these being granted by governments or private institutions.

European Interdisciplinary Studies
Description: The European Interdisciplinary Studies programme at the Natolin (Warsaw) campus offers students the possibility to analyse European integration beyond disciplinary boundaries and to acquire a deeper knowledge of its various aspects. The programme is designed to respond to the increasing need for experts who have a comprehensive understanding of the integration process and European affairs.The campus in Warsaw is ideally situated for students to acquire a good understanding of the political, social and economic challenges in Central and Eastern Europe and neighbouring countries. It benefits from the activities of two Chairs established thanks to the European Union. The first focuses on European history and civilization, the second focuses on the European Neighbourhood Policy.
Both the programme and its professional dimension prepare graduates to enter the international, European and national public sectors as well as the non-governmental and private sectors and may also serve as a stepping-stone towards doctoral studies.
This advanced master’s programme is aimed at university graduates with a background ranging from law, economics, political and social sciences and history to other disciplines, such as journalism or languages, provided that they demonstrate a high academic level and a keen interest in European affairs.
