The College of Europe, a well-known post-graduate institute of European studies based in Bruges, Belgium with a smaller campus in Warsaw, Poland, is now accepting applications for student candidates for the 2021-22 school year.

The programme runs for one year and takes place from September until the end of June. Graduates of the courses will receive a master’s degree in a chosen course of study. The specific disciplines on offer are in economics, law, political science and administrative, international and diplomatic relations of the EU. Classes are taught in both French and English.

In order to be considered, applicants must be of Monegasque nationality, already be holders of a master’s degree in one of the aforementioned disciplines or be in the process of obtaining the masters and be fluent in both written and spoken English and French.

Accepted students may benefit from a contract whereby the government of Monaco will cover registration fee costs if the student agrees to return to the Principality and work for a period of no less than five years in the nation’s civil service.
