The European Governance specialisation is designed to provide students with comprehensive knowledge of the key theoretical and empirical issues related to governance in Europe. The central focus of most courses is the European Union, with particular attention to the impact of the EU as a set of governance structures beyond the nation-state. The seminars of this track concentrate on multilevel governance in the EU, EU institutions and decision-making, and policy implementation in diverse policy areas.
With effect from February 2012, this programme will be offered in The Hague.
Students who attend the European Governance track can choose to participate in the European Master of Public Administration Programme (EMPA). EMPA is a joint enterprise of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), Leiden University, Erasmus Universiteit (Rotterdam, Netherlands), Hochschule für Verwaltungswissenschaften (Speyer, Germany) and the Universityof Economic Sciences(Budapest, Hungary). During one (extra) semester, students have the opportunity to attend courses at one of these qualified partner institutions. After successful completion, students receive the EMPA certificate.
