International Relations & Politics in the EU
Program Overview
This International Relations and Politics in the European Union program is taught in English and run by AIM Overseas’ partner in the Netherlands, Maastricht University’s Center for European Studies (www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/ces).
Located in the southernmost part of the Netherlands, within walking distance of Belgium and cycling distance of Germany, Maastricht has developed a very hybrid culture throughout is history and now is a symbol of pan-European identity.
The course takes full advantage of the location and is a great mix of lectures, sites visits
and fieldtrips making for a very dynamic program.
Over 3 intensive weeks, you will attend 39 hours of classes where you will take an in-depth look at the legal and political landscape of the EU and learn about the issues relating to international relations and human rights.
You will also visit places such as the International Court of Justice in The Hague or the European Parliament in Brussels.
Accommodation
The host university’s accommodation has a mix of single and shared rooms. Both options share communal kitchens and other facilities. There is a small cost difference between the shared and single options - students will be offered a choice on a first-come, first-served basis.
What past participants said about the course:
”This was my first trip overseas and I had the time of my life. Living as an international student and experiencing the Dutch culture in an old European town was fantastic. We created great networks and friendships that I hope will last for a long time. AIM could not have designed a better overseas program. ” - Jacqueline Rimington, Uni of Newcastle
