Students undertaking this course would be ideally placed to work in both the public and the private sector. The former would include governments, international organisations, regulatory agencies, as well as ministries and local government authorities more directly dealing with European and EU- related matters. Private sector institutions would primarily include firms and interest groups that are active at the national, subnational, and EU level. In addition to this, graduates from this programme would also be well-placed to gain roles in journalism, consultancies, and think tanks focusing on politics, policies, and economics in Europe.
