Second semester
During the second semester, students follow one compulsory course, which is dedicated to the future of Europe and taught and assessed in French.
In addition, students need to select five elective courses from the three thematic clusters offered within the programme: Geopolitics of Southeastern Europe, Europe in the 21st Century and Democracy and Rule of Law in Europe. At least one elective course per cluster is offered in French. A compulsory week-long simulation game also takes place during the second semester.
