EURO-MEDITERRANEAN MASTER’S PROGRAMME
(MASTEUROMED)
Under the EU-funded TEMPUS programme, a Master’s Degree in
Euro-Mediterranean studies has been established at the
Faculty of Economics & Political Science (FEPS) at Cairo
University. The Master’s programme is based on a consortium
including prestigious universities including Cairo
University and four European universities: the Paris
Institute of Political Studies (Sciences-Po Paris),
Universiteit van Amsterdam, Universitat de Barcelona and the
Freie Universitat Berlin.
This multi-disciplinary study programme is specifically set
up for Egypt by professors and experts of the consortium. It
complements the specialized higher degree curricula offered
by FEPS in developing the teaching capacity about Europe in
Egypt and is seeking to make the Southern Mediterranean and
the Arab World better known in the European Union.
The aim is to elaborate a program which should specifically
suit Egypt in its main features as well as in its content.
Moreover, this program is dedicated to enhancing the
knowledge about Europe, and in particular, the EU in Egypt
in the perspective of a Euro-Egyptian co-operation and
deepening the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. Finally,
MastEuroMed aims at facilitating a real dialogue between
European and Egyptian students. In order to reach this
objective, and specially, to raise the interest of European
students, it is absolutely necessary that the programme
embrace both the study of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership
and of the Arab World.
This programme is built up on five pillars: History,
Economics, Law, Political System, and External Relations It
tackles the political, economic, social and cultural aspects
of the European construction while at the same time trying
to view these phenomena within the development and the
changes of the contemporary Southern Mediterranean and Arab
World. The MastEuroMed consists of nine courses that are
given in four languages (Arabic, English, French and German)
and one seminar, which serve as a preparatory step for the
writing of the master’s thesis.
