European Union Studies

The European Union is increasingly becoming relevant on both the global stage and in the daily lives of European citizens. As a citizen of the European Union, you are influenced by the European Union every day. But how much do you know about the origins and development of the European Union? How much do you know of its policies and decision-making process? Are you familiar with the institutions of the EU? This minor gives you a full overview of the European Union: of its history and institutions, of its decision-making process, and of its policies. In addition, it gives you an insight into the role of the European Union on the global stage, the role of the Netherlands in the European Union, and the role of organized interest groups in European decision-making.
