Study Trip

Each academic year, the College of Europe organises a Master of Arts in Transatlantic Affairs (MATA) study trip to Brussels. It allows students to meet and exchange with key transatlantic stakeholders working for major European and North American institutions and organisations such as the European External Action Service or the U.S. Mission to the EU.
