Master in Advanced European and International Studies 2016/17 - Anglophone branch

Venues: Istanbul - Berlin - Nice
Period: October 2016 - July 2017
Application deadline: July 1, 2016

The Master in Advanced European and International Studies - Anglophone branch aims at giving students an overarching, encompassing vision of the political, social, economic, and cultural challenges of today’s world. The Master’s programme follows an original approach which distinguishes it from other Master’s courses in European Studies and International Relations: The MAEIS is an international, interdisciplinary and itinerant programme. Following the slogan “Learning and living Europe”, the participants rotate each trimester, moving their place of studies from Istanbul to Berlin and then to Nice. 
The Anglophone branch of the Master in Advanced European and International Studies is is a one-year programme, subdivided into three study terms. It is taught in English and offers a comprehensive perspective on the chances and challenges for the European Union and contemporary international politics.

Overview of the year:
The first term starts in Istanbul on the campus of our partner, Istanbul Bilgi University. It encompasses classes on the basics of all five modules of the programme (International Relations, European Integration, Economy and Globalisation and Federalism and Governance), completed by the seminar «Project cycle management», the core part of the fifth module "Professional Skills Workshops".

The second term in Berlin starts off in January where teaching continues with a focus on Eastern Europe and enlargement issues of the European Union, the new international order and the transformation process in Eastern and Central Europe, as well as EU economics. Our partner in Berlin, the Institut für Europäische Politik, provides a dialogue with European integration experts and offers an insight into political life in Berlin. During this period the participants take their mid-term exams. A one-week study trip takes them to the European and international organisations in Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg.

For their third term, students move on to Nice. Here, besides following in-depth courses in the five modules, students will have the opportunity to advance in their research work, as the months of May and June are left at the students’ disposal to work on their thesis. The programme concludes with the defence of the thesis and the final exams in the beginning of July. With their graduation, students become part of CIFE’s wide Alumni network.

This graduate programme is aimed at students who have already completed a first degree (minimum three years of study at university level). Furthermore, students must have a good knowledge of English.
