Overview:

This programme is suitable for students seeking comprehensive training as experts in the contemporary challenges and realities facing Europe and Japan. It envisions fostering multidisciplinary competence by focusing on understanding the comparative perspectives of EU-Japan relations through studying for double master degrees from both regions after completing at least a full academic year of study. The curriculum enables exchange students from the EU and Japan to conduct a comprehensive and structural analysis of the EU and Japan from a multidisciplinary perspective, e.g., historical, political, legal, economic, sociological, cultural, anthropological, philosophical and sociocultural. In addition to its focus on the EU and Japan and their interactions, EU-JAMM offers local language and culture courses as well as internship opportunities for students. In this way Japanese students will become ‘EU experts' with a deeper understanding of the EU as well as its cultural composition. European students, meanwhile, specialise in Japan's global role from both a historical and contemporary perspective.

Students will spend one year at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow following the second-cycle programme which leads to the MA degree in the field of European Studies and one year at Kobe University, following the programme of MA in Political Science.
