The Postgraduate Certificate (PGC) in EU Policy Making is an online programme focusing on the European Union’s integration process, institutions, decision-making procedures and policies. Its curriculum can be flexibly followed over the course of one or two academic years.
You have the choice, however, betweentwo starting dates for this programme:
Early July (with an application deadline on 15 April), if you choose to start with the Jean Monnet Summer School and then continue with the online courses taught during the following academic year.
Late September (with an application deadline on 31 August), if you choose to start directly with the online courses. You can then choose either to participate in the Winter School that is organised in February, between the first and second semesters of the academic year, or to end the academic year with the Summer School in July.
In addition, students have the possibility tocomplete the PGC in EU Policy Making over the course of one academic year (full-time students) or two (part-time students).
Part-time students will follow the compulsory courses on EU Institutions (first semester) and on EU Decision-Making and Law (second semester) during their first academic year. They will then follow the compulsory course on the History and Theories of European Integration (third semester) and their two elective courses (fourth semester) during their second academic year. Part-time students can start their curriculum with the Jean Monnet Summer School or participate in the latter at the end of their first or second academic year. Alternatively, they can follow the Winter School in the middle of their first or second academic year.
