This is a Master's course taught as an elective seminar for students of the International Relations Programme (MV, MAIN), but also students of other Master's programmes and Erasmus and other exchange students interested in European decision-making, the public sphere and lobbying. There are no prerequisites; however, previous knowledge of the EU's political system is advantageous. |
