Regional Cooperation in Action with RYCO
We couldn’t have asked for a better way to wrap up Professor Odeta Barbullushi’s course “Regional Cooperation in Southeastern Europe” than by welcoming the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO)...
Second semester
During the second semester, students follow one compulsory course, which is dedicated to the future of Europe and taught and assessed in French.
In addition, students need to select five elective courses from the three thematic clusters offered within the programme: Geopolitics of Southeastern Europe, Europe in the 21st Century and Democracy and Rule of Law in Europe. At least one elective course per cluster is offered in French. A compulsory week-long simulation game also takes place during the second semester. Finally, similar to the first semester, optional compact seminars and workshops are organised. The compulsory language courses will continue running throughout the second semester as well.
