The MA in European Integration is a degree programme that allows individuals with direct experience of working in EU affairs or highly specialised, motivated graduates to undertake targeted research in areas relating to the EU and integration and which, through applied research, would lead to substantive work which contributes to our knowledge of EU affairs as well as contributing to the good of society. It need not be added that the range of research topics will also depend on the availability of Institute staff in providing the necessary supervision. In this way, the MA by Research breaks from the Institute’s traditional approach of seeking to create informed generalists and aims to take candidates with a substantial background in EU affairs and produce highly specialised graduates with applied knowledge in their chosen area of research.The degree programme combines both a taught element and research.

Community of Learning for Africa (CoLA)
Target group
The main aim of COLA is to build research capacity in Africa by assisting African PhD fellows locally, instead of educating a selected group of students in The Netherlands.

All participants on the platform (African PhD fellows and their supervisors) remain affiliated at their home universities, obtain their degrees from their own institution, and participate from abroad. Our platform aims to offer an additional service to both PhD student and supervisor, in the form of content training, access to resources and feedback.
The Platform
CoLA offers online training modules and online research support through our Moodle-based learning platform. The platform includes three pillars of services:
- Pillar one: Courses offering: Stand Alone and Tutored
- Pillar two: Repository of open Educational Resources
- Pillar three: Online community, with option to discuss, obtain feedback and offer support to other participants.
