n particular focus on Europe, including Central and Eastern Europe, in the context of world affairs and the globalising international economy, but with the possibility of in-depth study of the US and International Politics too
n close integration of Political Science, Political Economy, International Relations and other social sciences in the study of European societies
n the opportunity to study languages as an additional option.
