Euroculture Studies

The breadth of the ground covered in this course offers a gateway to any new career in which knowledge of the rich and varied cultures of Europe are required. Diplomats, bureaucrats, project managers, journalists and cultural consultants can all benefit from the two year (four term), full-time interdisciplinary and transnational Masters programme, which carries 120 ECTS points. The course differs from others as it has been designed to focus on the citizen, rather than the structural models, thus allowing reflection on issues such as multi-culturalism, governance, identity, and the processes which are continuously shaping the European social and political environments. Prospective candidates must hold a bachelor's degree or higher, in the fields of social or human sciences or related fields. The programme is an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course of Excellence run by the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.

Studying Euroculture in Kraków has been one of the best experiences of my life. Participating in an very multinational and interdisciplinary master programme was a good choice to begin with, but choosing the Jagiellonian University really made it all the better.

Plunging yourself in Polish bureaucracy has never been this easy with the help of the great and very helpful coordinating team. It gives you a wonderful opportunity to live in the magical city of Kraków, and experience the traditions of Poland's oldest university. Taking the academic oath in the Collegium Novum, being taught by great professors, discovering the unique café culture.. the list could go on, but I think I made my point. A+, Väl godkänd, a Polish 5! (the highest grade you can get in Poland :)

Euroculture provides more than just an academic education. It help to expand your transnational network with dozens of new friends, grants you the opportunity to live in up to four different countries and assist in the development of your intercultural communication skills. Adjusting to different (academic) cultures in and outside Europe will prove of enormous value, not just for your career but also for you as a human being. Besides having the opportunity to travel to places you have never been before, the programme provides funding and custom-made options for the development of your choice. My time in Euroculture is almost over, but I will carry its heritage on into the rest of my days in the world. Thnx, guys!
