Master Studies in European Culture and Economy (ECUE)
Understanding Europe and shaping its future. Studying European policy, economy, society, and culture in actual and historical meaning

This inter-disciplinary and international Masters is an increasingly sought-after study program regularly offered by the Ruhr University Bochum since the 1999/2000 winter semester.
During the Master Studies program period of four semesters, you will experience the opportunity to study cultural and economic contexts on an equal footing at the renown Ruhr University. The content of the studies focuses on an international and above all European context. Our guiding idea is to discuss the convergence and divergence of the European social, cultural and economic area within a comparative perspective. Together with the students this should be developed, reflected and analysed. Thereby, Europe and the construction of the “European” build the collective, multi-disciplinary focus on the studies.
Qualified as specialist generalists, you will be able to build on your Master qualifications by opening new directions in your career choices with international companies, institutions and organisations, including research.
