Overview
The European Union Affairs specialization explores how the EU’s unique governance model shapes policymaking across its 27 member states and far beyond.

From legislative development to compliance and stakeholder engagement, the specialization gives you the tools to work effectively across public institutions, international organizations and private sector actors operating in the European space.
Grounded in European law, economics, diplomacy and public policy, this specialization is designed to help you turn strategic political goals into measurable policy outcomes. Whether shaping regulation, advising multinational stakeholders or strengthening cross-border collaboration, you will be ready to operate at the heart of Europe’s policymaking landscape.
