Study track: European Interdisciplinary Studies

Academic Year 2024-2025

Why follow the European Interdisciplinary Studies study track? 

Students interested in taking a broader, cross-disciplinary view of transatlantic affairs can pursue their interests by choosing from a wide array of courses at both the College of Europe and The Fletcher School. They will gain expertise in European integration processes, EU external relations and transatlantic affairs and learn to provide imaginative solutions to today’s most pressing and complex national, regional and global challenges by adopting a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, contextual and multicultural approach.  

My experience in the Natolin campus has provided me with a unique perspective on transatlantic relations in Central and Eastern Europe in the midst of the Russian invasion on Ukraine.  I am confident that the knowledge and skills I am gaining in the MATA program will allow me to generate common solutions facing the EU and the US today.
