Students undertaking European and EU studies at Monash can expect to learn about the contribution that European thought and culture have made to the shaping of the modern world, as well as the significance of contemporary developments such as the creation and enlargement of the European Union. Students are encouraged to analyse, interpret, discuss and evaluate texts, both historical and contemporary, that are representative of European ideas and culture, and to become familiar with the different forms of innovation that have characterized the development of the European Union.
