Drawing upon ideas from several academic disciplines, the Multidisciplinary Studies Programme introduces a theoretical framework for understanding the political, sociocultural and geographical conditions in Sweden, Europe and the world as a whole. In the Multidisciplinary Studies Programme you will be expected to read a substantial amount of literature and study independently. Each week there will be lectures, assignments and workshops.
Classes are multicultural and discussions and group assignments are integral parts of the courses.
Each course ends with a final examination - quite typically you will be asked to write an essay exam or an extensive paper. You can enroll in the programme in its entirety or take only selected courses. Scheduled classes end around December 15 and Course 4 can therefore be concluded at your home institution. During this course theories of European integration, the Historical Development and Policies of the European Union, will be discussed. Institutions, structure and decisionmaking procedures of the European Union are descibed and analyzed.
