Programme structure

The Programme comprises the following elements:

 • Training for public officials, as well as representatives of civil society and academia, from the eligible countries 
• Focus on the understanding of the legal, economic and political aspects of international relations, using an interdisciplinary approach that is based on both teaching and practical experience
• Awarding a special Certificate, beyond the scope of individual training courses, and to allow for later possible conversion, at the personal expense of the students, toward a full Master’s degree
The course subjects have been selected so as to ensure both the diversity and integrity of the interdisciplinary approach adopted, that has a focus on Law & Economics, with a consideration also of policy issues.

As a general principle, the Programme seeks to identify fundamental principles and values in each of the fields included, so as to contribute to the common understanding of such principles and values, in addition to the more technical skills related to international negotiations, institutional cooperation and organizational structures, including the European Union. Electives are offered during part of the Programme, so as to allow participants to adjust the Programme content to meet their specific needs and interests.

Total Programme duration is 12 weeks that is divided into 4 modules of 3 weeks. During each module, the participants will follow 3 courses, which normally cover 1 week each, and which during the third module also include a study visit abroad.

During a normal week, in class teaching covers 3 days, with 1 day set aside for excursions related to the subject matter of the course and 1 day set aside for special events, such as high profile guest speakers as well as cultural events, so as to ensure a comprehensive approach to the learning of both theory and practice.

During the in-class part of each teaching period, participants will have teaching for 6 hours per day, and the excursions and special events, together with class preparation, are calculated also to cover on average 6 hours per day. Thus the weekly workload is estimated at 30 hours, which leads to the award of 1.5 ECTS credits per course.

English language support is offered as an elective with 4 hours per week throughout most of the programme. After each module, participants are requested to provide feedback on the courses and teaching, as well as the organisation of events, which is used for the continuous development of the programme.
