This MA has been designed to provide you with a special opportunity to gain first hand experience of EU institutions and their operation. The opportunity is based on an extended placement in various institutions in Brussels.


Lancaster University is an EU documentation centre and all the proceedings of the European Parliament and other official publications of the European Union are available for consultation in the University library.

You will work under the supervision of a full-time employee of the office and be simultaneously responsible to the MA course co-ordinator at Lancaster University.
