Following a successful launch in 2022, the European Institute is proud to convene the module ‘European Politics, Policy and Law in Practice’ again in 2023.

This moduleÌýcomplements academic study with practice-led learning. Taking a slightly different approach to conventional modules, it is taught through a curated programme of moderated conversations with guest speakers who are high-level practitioners in their fields, combined with skills-oriented sessions led by experienced professionals. This offers students the chance try their hands at producing formats of analysis as they are used in practice.ÌýThe module also includes a study trip to Brussels forÌýtwo and a half days, where students will visit some of the EU institutions for bespoke conversation sessions.

Sessions focus on themes including climate and sustainability, trade negotiations, the UK-EU relationship and the EU as a foreign-policy actor. In addition, students learn how to develop policy briefings andÌýthink-tank pieces, how to write for a general audience and how to get the most out ofÌýstakeholder analyses, scenario exercises and collaborative workshops.

We work with a core team ofÌýguest lecturers, as well as some new speakers each year. If you are interested in contributing to future iterations, please get in touch!
