Master Programme

Apply for your future.
With us.

You are fascinated by the process of European integration and the way it holds fascination for other regions in the world? Do you wish to deepen your understanding of this process and be actively involved in it? You aspire to a career in which well-grounded legal, economic and political science knowledge about European integration is indispensable? You have already completed your first degree preferably in the area of law, economics or political science with an outstanding result?
Then you should apply for a place in our Master Programme.

The two-semester Master Programme "European and European Legal Studies" is offered by the Institute for European Integration of the Foundation Europa-Kolleg Hamburg in cooperation with the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences of the University of Hamburg.
After successfully completing the programme either the academic degree "Master of Arts (M.A.)" or "Master of Laws (LL.M.)" will be awarded.
We look back on more than 15 years of successful cooperation between the Europa-Kolleg, which in 2013 will celebrate its 60th anniversary, and the University of Hamburg. Over the course of time the contents and outlines of the study courses offered to graduates have always been adapted to new developments and challenges on the European level. Today, many graduates from over fifty countries are successfully employed in international institutions, national administrations, law firms, and in the private economy.
The programme is structured into modules according to the requirements of the Bologna Process. After positive evaluation and decision of the accreditation commission of the accreditation agency AQAS the programme has been accredited on 22/23 November 2010.
One of the distinctive features of our programme is that you can also live at the Europa-Kolleg Hamburg.

This website offers you more information on our Master Programme and information on how to apply for a place.

My colleagues and I are available for personal consultations in order to provide a very individual insight into our Master Programme as well as the opportunities which will open up after a successful year of studies with us. Also you have the chance to get in touch with many alumni who have agreed to share their personal impressions on studying and living at the Europa-Kolleg Hamburg.
