About the programme
Specialization of European Politics and Economics in conducted in English and is open to all international and Polish applicants.
The European Politics and Economics programme is addressed to students interested in
- economic and political integration,
- the functioning of the European Union,
- EU law and the EU internal market, particularly with respect to the economy, finance and detailed policy.
The programme covers the structure, competences and activities of the European Union, its impact on Member States, and the mutual relations between them.
A unique feature of the programme is that it is run jointly by two faculties at Warsaw University: the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies and the Faculty of Economic Sciences. Due to this cooperation, the programme emphasises economic premises and the consequences of European integration. This well-developed economic component clearly differentiates this programme from other European studies programmes offered in Poland. The entire programme is conducted in English.
Completion of the European Politics and Economics specialization allows the graduates to deepen and systematize knowledge of management issues in the EU, as well as all dimensions of European integration. The program teaches how to make accurate assessment of political, social and economic conditions of EU administration, to analyze and diagnose the relations between different dimensions of integration within the EU, as well as to develop policy strategies.
The specialization of European Politics and Economics is an innovative educational program concentrated on the EU policies and the economic dimension of the functioning of the European Union. The main focus is on the economic dimension of the European integration process, which distinguishes the specialization from other programs run by the Institute of European Studies.
Students have the opportunity to study for one semester abroad. Thanks to the Erasmus + Programme and Bilateral Agreements, they can study for free all over the World (i. e. all UE countries, Mexico, USA, Brasil, Russia or India)
