Why study International Relations at Universidad Europea?

Moot court

In the context of legal arbitration, lots of academic initiatives are carried out for fostering practical use of the students’ theoretical knowledge in simulation environments. Apart from the students of the Degree in Law, the activities of Moot Court involve pupils from other degrees where legal concepts are relevant.

As Moot encourages experiential learning through interaction with environments similar to professional realities, it reflects the philosophy of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL).

International Relations Observatory

Also following the philosophy of Challenge-Based Learning, professors in the BSC Degree in International Relations will play the role of political analysts thanks to the International Relations Observatory, focusing on international politics. Conceived as a meeting space for professors and students, it is a digital agency whose members describe the main conflicts and geopolitical challenges in present-day society.

The main tools for studying the current geopolitical scenario are analytical articles, in which students and professors contrast information from different sources to write a trustworthy chronicle; info graphic reports, aimed at presenting facts in a synthetic and easily accessible way; and a large group of web resources that allow readers to broaden their sources of information about precise events.

Facilities

If you come from out of Madrid and you wish to study a face to face program, you can find lodgings that meet your requirements: near the Campus, security, comfort, academic atmosphere, good service, modern furniture, etc. Thanks to the two student residences at the Universidad Europea, within the Campus, which can take in up to 550 people, all your necessities will be met and answered. Students and professors can find housing in them, contributing to scientific, artistic, and cultural exchange. People linked to the University can book a room here, too.

Internships are a key component of your training. Acquiring experience after what you have learnt in your degree is the best way to enter the employment market. There are two types of internships: curricular—which are included in your study plan—and extracurricular—which you can do on a voluntary basis.

In order to complete curricular internships in companies, you will need to have 50% of the credits approved and to register the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship coordinator, and they are evaluated by midterm and final reports.

If you want to take your work experience to the next level before finishing your university education, you can pursue an extracurricular internship. You can do them in any academic year, but keep in mind that internships are a formative complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your studies, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.
