About the MSc programme

The MSc Culture and Conflict in a Global Europe programme is perfect for MSc students looking to gain a deeper understanding of how culture and identity inform contemporary politics and violent conflicts in Europe and beyond.

Our programme takes a multi- and inter-disciplinary approach, using methods of investigation from political theory, philosophy, international relations, political science, sociology and economics. You'll engage with these topics by studying the politics of culture and the culture of politics, analysing how culture structures internal and external conflicts and frames efforts at their resolution.

You'll also have the opportunity to critically examine policies aimed at addressing these conflicts at a national and international level. Plus, you'll be able to choose optional courses from across different disciplines, allowing you to tailor your studies to your interests and career goals.

Join us and become part of a dynamic community of scholars, thinkers, and innovators who are shaping the future of culture and conflict studies.

European Institute

The European Institute is one of the largest, if not the largest, centres for the study of European anywhere in the world.

The European Institute’s core work centres around three key areas: research, teaching and learning, and public events.

The work of the EI's faculty, research staff, and our highly active doctoral community focuses on our four key research themes: Political Economy, Politics & Policy, Culture & Society, and Migration.

One of the hallmarks of the European Institute is our strong external profile. We host dozens of events a year, with an outstanding cast list of high-level speakers from politics, public administration and EU institutions, including presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, finance ministers, distinguished scholars and influential commentators.
