Introduction
The European Politics and Society (EPS): Vaclav Havel Joint Master Program is a multidisciplinary two-year Joint Master Degree Programme linking the fields of European politics, contemporary history and culture, economy, international relations, and policymaking. The first semester of the EPS Programme is based on Master level introductory courses (in Prague), the second semester focuses on EU-related courses (Krakow, Leiden). In the third and fourth semesters, the program offers four different study tracks reflecting the diverse expertise of the Consortium members (Prague, Krakow, Barcelona, and Leiden). Each track combines various elective courses, research methods training, an internship, and language tuition with an advanced research dissertation supervised by key staff from each Partner University.
The EPS program gives its students the possibility to acquire high-profile pluridisciplinary knowledge and skills. The first goal of the EPS Programme is to prepare a new generation of managers, policymakers, and research leaders. The excellence of the program is based on a central focus on the societal, political, economic, and cultural processes that have formed contemporary Europe and its role in the international environment, the program also fosters exchange among diverse European and non-European cultures, and offers a unique learning experience to both EU and non-EU students. The EPS Programme thus contributes to building a real trans-European community of students, experts, and academia that deals with current European challenges.
