Course: Strategic and conceptual approaches: the EU in the international system

Besides the course content the students had the opportunity to get familiar with the way EU affairs are analysed and taught in another European country.

The course got a very good evaluation by the students in an evaluation exercise carried out by the University of Cologne.
