EU Modules

There is a wide variety of modules taught at Newcastle University touching on European affairs, mostly within the HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences) Faculty. Some modules are of a generalist/introductory nature and many reflect the significant level of expertise and experience of teaching staff at the University. The modules listed below, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, are those that are focused on the affairs of the European Union, its Member States and/or a particular theme arising out of the history, politics, laws or other policies of the EU.

In addition to the taught programmes, the academic staff at Newcastle provide an extensive range of postgraduate supervision for EU topics. Research students form a vital part of the research and teaching culture in the University and its European Union projects. Prospective students wishing to apply should consult the University Postgraduate website/ and the Schools in which they are interested.

In addition to the modules listed below, a number of schools within the University operate strong ERASMUS exchange schemes, which will have their own module number. These EU-supported schemes involve Newcastle University Schools exchanging undergraduate and postgraduate students with preeminent higher education institutions elsewhere in Europe (for example the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the University of Trento in Italy). Normally these exchanges will last one semester and count for the Newcastle degree. Students should consult their Personal Tutor and the International Office in the first instance.
