The European Union aims to foster peace and prosperity among the peoples of Europe by promoting a community with open borders while also wishing to preserve diversity and ensuring that decisions are taken as close as possible to citizens. It has become an intense topic of interesting and stimulating geopolitical debate how the goals of the EU should be valued, understood, and what the proper future of Europe should be. Why do we wish to have a European Union and in what form? How do EU policies affect our daily lives, our national identity and our national borders? And how do EU policies affect people outside the Union?

The Master's specialisation in Europe: Borders, Identity and Governance aims to increase your understanding of the value and workings of the EU within the social and geopolitical developments both in Europe and in Europe's relation to rest of the world. You'll come to understand cross-border governance and how economic, cultural and political power works across borders.

The Master's in Europe: Borders Identity and Governance is a specialisation of the Master's programme in Human Geography.

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

awardElsevier beste opleiding
2015
We see borders as much more than physical, national and demographical lines. Although the foundation of this specialisation is sociological and geographical, our approach to this theme is highly multidisciplinary to include related fields as European Studies, Political Science, Conflict Management and Spatial Planning. Our department is also closely involved with the Journal of Border Studies, a leading forum for borderlands research.

studievereniging

Mundus
Mundus is de studievereniging voor studenten Geografie, Planologie en Milieu in Nijmegen. Je kunt vanwege het economische voordeel van de boekenkorting lid worden van Mundus, maar onze vereniging heeft nog veel meer te bieden.
Onze enthousiaste actieve leden dragen bij aan de organisatie van diverse leuke activiteiten voor alle Mundusleden en andere geïnteresseerden. Je staat vrij om zelf dingen te organiseren of eraan mee te doen.

Regelmatig organiseren wij lezingen op onverwachte locaties in Nederland, excursies naar leuke steden of gewoon een dagje 'even helemaal weg'. Ook is er natuurlijk de jaarlijkse buitenlandse Mundusreis, die altijd een goede mix is van vakinhoudelijkheid, vakantiegevoel en veel lol.

Maar Mundus doet nog meer. Tijdens onze contactdag kom je, als voorbereiding op het toekomstige werkveld, in contact met sociaal geografen, planologen en millieukundigen uit de beroepspraktijk. Daarnaast is er de nu al legendarische Borrelende Kennis Quiz, waarbij studenten en docenten van de sectie het opnemen tegen andere teams van GPM. Naast studiegerelateerde activiteiten brengt Mundus natuurlijk ook ontspanning door feesten, borrels of een barbecue, waardoor je je medestudenten op een andere manier leert kennen. Elk jaar organiseert Mundus het Nationaal Geografisch en Planologisch Symposium, in samenwerking met andere studieverenigingen uit Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen en Wageningen. Wil je meer weten over Mundus? Wil je lid worden of zelf iets organiseren? Dan ben je van harte welkom in de pauze, elke middag tussen 12.30 uur en 13.30 uur, op onze kamer in de Thomas van Aquinostraat 5.0.04.

afgestudeerd in 2011 werkzaam als Researcher bij Radboud University
'I realised that I have always been a geographer at heart'

I chose Radboud University because its Master's programme in Human Geography is flexible, which has allowed me to take courses that I consider convenient for my thesis research even though they belong to other specialisations. Although my programme concentrates on Europe: Borders, Identities and Governance, my research project also encompasses topics like conflict resolution and multiculturalism, which I have been able to study thanks to the programme's lack of rigidity.
