The International Master in European Studies is a post-graduate course organised by the European Desk of the Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce in co-operation with the Institute of European Studies of the Université Catholique de Louvain for the academic part. This Master is designed to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of EU institutions and policies, as well as to make them familiar with European funding programmes and tenders. To this end, a thorough academic section is combined with both hands-on practical work on European projects and job-oriented meetings. The course lasts 3 months. It is an intensive, full-time, 400 hours programme whose didactic method is based on a practical approach, which aims at transferring knowledge through a learning-by-doing process. All lectures are held in English.
