Learning outcomes

For each UCLouvain training programme, a reference framework of learning outcomes specifies the skills expected of every graduate upon completion of the programme. Course unit descriptions specify targeted learning outcomes, as well as the unit's contribution to the reference framework of learning outcomes.

Students enrolled on the Master [120] in EU Studies will become experts in EU affairs, combining a in-depth knowledge of the EU’s governance model, an ability to critically analyse key EU policies and the practical know-how to be quickly operational in EU-related jobs.

  • Describe and explain the EU’s economic, political, legal and historical foundations and governing principles

  • Write policy papers and develop advocacy/lobbying strategies
  • Apply for and manage EU funding
