History: Europaeum Programme - European History and Civilisation: Leiden-Oxford-Paris Programme

Master

The Europaeum Programme: European History & Civilization leads to a Master of Arts in History diploma awarded by Leiden University, with an additional certificate presented by the Europaeum.
This association, consisting of ten leading European universities (Europaeum), has succeeded in combining resources to create a ‘university without walls’.
The main goal of this experience is to provide future European and World leaders and scholars with knowledge and international experience at a formative stage.

The programme is designed to give students a unique opportunity to study the history of European states and nations from the Late Middle Ages until the present day at three leading European universities: Leiden University, Université Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne), and the University of Oxford.

The programme offers graduate students a special opportunity to deepen their knowledge of European history through the lens of three different university worlds.

New MA students (including those still in the admittance procedure) are required to attend the MA Introduction.
