2005 - 2006

In September 2005, the sixth year of the Master Course in European Studies "The process of building Europe" will start, as a result of a multilateral cooperation Agreement among the Universities of Siena, Salamanca, Granada, Coimbra, Jagiellonski in Krakow, Roberto Schuman Strasbourg III, Panteion in Athens, Hanover and Oradea and with the support of the European Commission. The project was born thanks to a long scientific and didactical collaboration in the field of European Studies among the teachers who promote it, most of them already involved in the Action Jean Monnet programs.

This University network gives its Master Course students the chance to acquire a deep knowledge of the issues linked to the general building process through an interdisciplinary approach. Students have the unique opportunity to access the centers of scientific and didactic excellence that have been developed in the field of European Studies by the partner universities. Every university offers in fact its country's traditional culture and different expertise, due to the various cultural paths of a particular country, aiming nowadays to build a common identity network on a European level.

The Master Course is divided into three four-month modules:

General Module (15th September 2005 - 15th January 2006)
