About

In 1992 the Maastricht Treaty led to the creation of the EU with its motto “Unity in Diversity”, but what is European identity? These questions are at the heart of European culture and society and demand consensus, born out of centuries of division and conflict. The Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe programme is offered at the Maastricht University - Center for European Studies.

Overview

Founded by the Romans, controlled by the Spanish, besieged by the French, and occupied by the Germans, the picturesque city of Maastricht personifies how Europe’s history has served as a prologue to the present. 

Overview

  • At the crossroads of three borders and cultures, it is the perfect setting for students to examine socio-economic, cultural, environmental and political perspectives and consider how they shape debates about human behaviour, shared values and belonging in today’s Europe.
  • The Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe programme is offered at the Maastricht University - Center for European Studies.
