Why start Euroculture at Deusto?
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Universidad de Deusto is only able to offer the second and fourth semesters of the Euroculture Master.
The University of Deusto is a 125 year-old academic institution located centrally in Bilbao and known for its capacity to foster both the professional and human development of its students. The Euroculture Programme is offered by the Department of International Relations and Humanities of the Faculty of Social and Human Science.
The academic culture at Deusto is characterised by its focus on the active learning of key competences, where students are supported by the instructors at any moment. Euroculture classes are most often of a seminar format, where students are encouraged and expected to participate actively when discussing readings, presenting their work etc. Assessments are based on small projects, specific tasks and written assignments rather than final exams. Academic tutoring is provided throughout by the course instructors and the Director of Studies.
Active participation in seminars is key in Deusto's learning culture.
