Europe New and Old is an intensive introduction to European intellectual and cultural heritage, art (including architecture), history and politics.

Students study in Cracow, Munich and Venice, and are taught by staff of the Jagiellonian University, International Cultural Center, Munich University (LMU) and Venice International University (VIU).

Lectures on European politics and architecture are also given; and students participate in various ancillary activities, including cultural programs and tours of significant cultural sites.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

In today's fast-moving world, the value of a well-stocked and well trained mind is all too evident. Arts graduates with a European Studies major, and (if applicable) appropriate postgraduate diplomas, will find work in journalism, the electronic media, teaching, libraries, politics, diplomacy and foreign affairs, law, the public service, tourism and business.
