European Studies and Classics University of Malta

Overview

European Studies

Another aim is to develop students' analytical skills and to deepen your critical appraisal of EU policies and EU affairs in general. Learn more at the European Studies and Classics programme offered by University of Malta.

Special emphasis is also laid, where appropriate, on the deepening of knowledge of the theories and theoretical frameworks employed by the various disciplines in assessing EU policies.

Classics

In this programme of study, the 'Classics' is used as an umbrella term that will take you back to Ancient Greece, where you will academically familiarise yourself with the mythology, society, literature and linguistics, history and art of the Greek Islands. 

During your course of studies you will be able to have a basic understanding of the Greek and Latin languages and read key texts in their respective original languages. 

You will be able to understand the influence that this ancient world has had on our contemporary one, while also enriching your cultural and historic mindset by participating in interdisciplinary action. You are also encouraged to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility period, for a multicultural and diversified learning experience.

Careers

As a graduate in European Studies, you will be able to find jobs in the EU institutions, international organisations, government ministries (where the alumni have been detailed to work on EU related projects or units working on EU initiatives), in the diplomatic service, the media, teaching, and the enterprise and business organisations. 

If you will be in possession of a good Bachelor of European Studies qualification, you will be admitted to read for a higher degree, usually at Masters level in European Studies or closely related areas requiring a strong knowledge of European Studies. 

While many of the alumni have graduated with their Masters at the University of Malta, as a European Studies graduate, you will be able to gain admission to Universities overseas.
