All first year compulsory modules will be timetabled on Fridays, along with other options. Final timetables are available in September and January. It is hoped that these provisions will allow part-time students to have outside employment for up to four weekdays each week, for example. As the Department seeks to renew and update its course offerings, it cannot guarantee that any individual optional modules will be available in any particular year. If applicants have any queries on part-time provisions, they should be addressed to the Postgraduate Secretary in the Department of European Studies.
Applications are welcome from international candidates.
The Department makes every effort to help applicants from overseas obtain accommodation on campus or in nearby housing. Applicants from outside the EU are advised to seek information about financial support available for overseas students from their local British Council office or from the cultural section of their nearest British Embassy. The same applies to EU applicants who do not meet the eligibility requirements for ESRC awards. The Department can draw on a wide range of resources for the study of contemporary Europe. The Department has a number of research units which have developed specialist library holdings.
