Thematic Focus
At Georg-August-Universität Göttingen we understand Euroculture as an approach to examine Europe in an inspiring multidisciplinary context considering both its crises and continuities, together with its exchanges as well as collaboration and co-habitation. Based in the Institute of Political Sciences, Euroculture is run by six Departments at three Faculties: Political Science, Sociology (Social Sciences), English Philology/North American Studies, German Philology, History (Humanities) and Theology. The structure of Euroculture allows students to develop their individual profiles and to specialize to certain areas, according to their personal and academic interests.
The University Georgia-Augusta has a long tradition in interactive and research-based learning which applies also to the Euroculture programme where students are encouraged to actively participate in class and to collaborate in group-work.
In addition to the mandatory courses, the University of Göttingen offers a broad range of language and soft skills courses that can be attended by Euroculture students free of charge.
