Master Scholarships, European College of Parma Foundation, Italy (2016-2017)

The European College of Parma Foundation is a post-university institute in advanced European studies which provides academic training for young graduates in the field of European Union law, economics and politics. The training provided is geared to preparing students for careers in EU, national and local institutions, professional associations, the corporate world and private practice. One of the College’s objectives is to build up the students’ professional skills in order to enable them to deal with European policies and participate in their implementation.

The Diploma and University Master in Advanced European Studies (ADES) is a top-level interdisciplinary study programme based on European Union Institutions, law, economics and main EU policies

The academic body is made up of former EU officials, professors and EU related issues experts. The participation of students coming from different countries favours an international environment where diverse cultures meet and create true opportunities of integration.

Study Programme

The study programme is divided into two phases.

- Diploma in Advanced European Studies

The first phase includes two academic semesters (from October/November to July). In addition to lectures and individual study, the training provided includes lectiones magistrales, debates and group activities, research activities, study visits to companies, as well as seminars and practice activities aimed at favouring future graduates’ access to the labour market.

- University Master in Advanced European Studies

The second phase takes place after second-semester exams. Graduates in Advanced European Studies can obtain a further diploma, University Master’s Degree in Advanced European Studies, by writing a dissertation under the supervision of a professor of the College on a European issue related to a course or seminar included into the study programme.
