The Executive Master in EU Studies is organized by the Centre International de Formation Européenne (CIFE) in collaboration with the Jean Monnet-Chair of European Politics of the University of Cologne^[1] and other partners.

CIFE is a private non-profit-making international organization which was established in 1954 and also is one of the six institutions which benefit from the Jean Monnet Programme "Support for specified institutions pursuing an aim of European interest" of the European Commission.

Aims and concepts[edit]

CIFE's Executive Master in EU Studies is a multi-disciplinary two-year (60 ECTS) curriculum, which offers flexible study paths and methods for professionals, postgraduates and officials who are pursuing their careers at the same time.

The participants of the programme receive structured knowledge of EU fundamentals and a focus on selected priority issues for an in-depth understanding and future-oriented approach to EU integration.

In total, 8 intensive weekend workshops in Berlin, Budapest, Brussels, Nice, Rome and Vienna.

Curriculum[edit]
