Course description
The European Union is not just a set of institutions: it is a political, economic and social project in constant evolution.
This test assesses your ability to understand how it works, its history and its main areas of action. Knowing “who is who” is not enough: you need to understand what each institution does, how they relate to each other and what objectives they pursue.
This module helps you build the clear mental map you need to answer with confidence both in the knowledge test and in the written test.
This module will not ask you to memorise meaningless dates and names: it will teach you to understand the logic behind the history of the EU and behind each institution, treaty and policy, so you can navigate the exam with confidence.
