In the evaluation of the student's examination performance, emphasis is placed on evaluating the extent to which the student:
- demonstrates the ability to identify key empirical and theoretical problems in relation to the political issue in focus,
- demonstrates knowledge of the scope, historical roots and contemporary implications of the political issue in focus,
- demonstrates knowledge of methodologies relevant for the interdisciplinary study of contemporary issues in European politics,
- shows the ability to compose academic texts that critically examine and assess theories, concepts, methodologies and body of empirical knowledge introduced in the course
The objective is to provide the student with in-depth knowledge and skills to analyse contemporary issues in European politics. The issue in focus will be chosen by the instructor before the start of the course, and can for instance be minorities, citizenship, migration, democracy, or the politics of food in Europe. The course combines theoretical, conceptual and empirical dimensions. Thus, it examines relevant theoretical and conceptual debates used in interdisciplinary academic debates, as well as key historical, social and political dimensions. The course also introduces the student to select methodologies that can be used to study the issue in question. This will enable the student to critically analyse and assess problems in relation to the particular issue in question, as well as provide the student with analytical tools for further studies of contemporary politics in Europe.

Teaching will typically take place as a combination of classroom teaching, lectures and student working groups. During classroom teaching emphasis is given to work processes that enable the student to discuss and reflect on lectures and texts, and it is expected that students contribute actively to the learning environment. The teaching and final examination will consist of a curriculum of 1100 to 1300 pages of standard text.
